DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6148 2.4 GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 4TB SATA 2.5

Blade server with dual Xeon Gold 6148

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 4 TB SATA 2.5-inch hard drives. A PERC H330 SAS storage controller manages the installed drives, while an integrated 10 GbE two-port adapter handles network connectivity. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for compute-dense virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits environments that need a high core count and moderate memory capacity within a blade form factor. The dual ten-core processors deliver twenty cores total for multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who require larger memory footprints or faster storage interfaces should look at other options, as the installed DDR4 capacity is well below the one-terabyte maximum and the drive bays are limited to SATA.

Dual Xeon Gold 6148 at 2.4 GHz

The pair of Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs is the defining specification for this unit. Each processor provides ten cores at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz with 27.5 MB of cache. This processor choice determines the server's licensing costs, thermal profile and overall compute throughput. Verify that your workload and software licences align with this specific twenty-core configuration before purchase.
