DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon 8253 128GB 2x 4TB SATA

Dense blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server built for compute-dense environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8253 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H330 SAS controller manages two 4 TB SATA drives installed in 2.5-inch bays. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases inside a blade chassis. The dual-processor layout and large memory capacity support heavy multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two internal drives should evaluate alternative platforms.

Two 4 TB SATA drives

Storage capacity is fixed at two 4 TB SATA hard drives connected to the PERC H330 controller. The blade chassis accepts only 2.5-inch devices, so additional or faster media cannot be added internally. Verify that 8 TB of shared storage meets application requirements before purchase.
