DELL PowerEdge M630 Blade 2× Xeon E5-2640 v4 384GB DDR4 2× 300GB SAS

PowerEdge M630 blade server

This Dell PowerEdge M630 is a two-socket blade server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz. Each CPU provides ten cores and 25 MB cache. The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available slots. A PERC H330 SAS RAID controller manages the internal storage.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads in a blade form

The 384 GB of DDR4 memory and dual ten-core CPUs make this blade a good fit for virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or compute clusters that need high core density. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drive bays or who require a GPU accelerator should look at a different platform because this chassis supports only two SAS drives and offers integrated graphics only.

Dual ten-core Xeon E5-2640 v4 at 2.4 GHz

The pair of E5-2640 v4 processors delivers twenty cores and forty threads at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz with 25 MB cache per socket. This CPU configuration is the primary factor that determines whether the blade matches the performance envelope of the intended workload.
