DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon 8160 24-Core 64GB 2x 960GB SSD H330 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

Blade Server for Virtualisation and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute environments. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H330 controller managing two 960 GB SATA SSDs.

Suits Scale-Out Clusters.

This blade fits into PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis and targets organisations running virtualised workloads, private clouds or high-performance computing jobs. Buyers who need a self-contained rack or tower server with integrated power and cooling should look at a different form factor. The 10 Gb dual-port network daughter card supports high-throughput east-west traffic inside the chassis.

24 Cores per Socket Decides Density

Each installed Xeon 8160 delivers 24 cores, setting the maximum thread count per blade and defining how many virtual machines or containers can be packed onto a single half-height slot. The 16 DIMM slots allow expansion up to the platform limit of 1.5 TB when additional DDR4 modules are added.
