Head-to-head · every figure from the vendor documents

Dell R6725 vs HPE DL360 Gen11

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R6725 and the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. 2 headline measures favour the R6725, 3 favour the DL360 Gen11, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. R6725 leads on virtualisation, storage density. DL360 Gen11 leads on databases and in-memory work, network throughput. Neither vendor publishes benchmarks for these machines, so every call here is made on what their documents state.

The measures that decide it

Each row is a figure both vendors publish. Bars show the split between the two; a badge marks the larger figure, which is not always the better buy — a shallower chassis or a lower power ceiling can matter more.

02 — Verdict

Which one, and why

Drawn from the measures above and each model’s own data sheet. Neither vendor publishes benchmark results for these servers, so nothing here claims one is “faster”.

Choose the R6725 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 384 against 128 on the DL360 Gen11
  • Drive bays: 22 against 20 on the DL360 Gen11
  • Two EPYC 9005 sockets in 1U, each up to 192 cores with the EPYC 9965 — 384 cores in a single rack unit.

Choose the DL360 Gen11 if…

  • Memory ceiling: 8 TB against 6 TB on the R6725
  • Largest power supply: 2,200 W against 1,800 W on the R6725
  • Fastest network option: 400 GbE class against 200 GbE class on the R6725
  • Two sockets and 32 DIMM slots in one rack unit: up to 64 cores per processor and 8 TB of DDR5, with 4 TB behind each socket.

07 — Questions

R6725 vs DL360 Gen11, answered

Is the R6725 or the DL360 Gen11 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The R6725 lists 20 processors up to 192 cores at 500 W; the DL360 Gen11 lists 58 up to 64 cores at 385 W. Fully populated that is 384 cores against 128.

Which holds more memory?

The R6725 has 24 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 6 TB. The DL360 Gen11 has 32 and 8.0 TB.

Which takes more drives?

R6725: 22 bays across 8 documented layouts. DL360 Gen11: 20 across 5. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

R6725: up to 3 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. DL360 Gen11: up to 3, 0 double-wide listed.

Do they share any processors?

No. The two documents list different processors, so a like-for-like processor build is not possible across these two.

Where these figures come from. R6725: Dell PowerEdge R6725 Technical Guide (May 2026) (Dell document). DL360 Gen11: HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 QuickSpecs (Version 48 - 08-Sep-2026) (HPE document). Each claim on this page is derived from those documents, checked page by page on the two data sheets, and carries no pricing.
