DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6150 18C 16GB 2x 1.92TB SSD H330 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

High-density blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute clusters. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors provide 36 cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are installed. The system includes a PERC H330 RAID controller and dual-port 10 Gb Broadcom 57810S-K networking.

Virtualisation hosts and HPC clusters

Organisations running virtualised workloads, private clouds or high-performance computing jobs gain from the 36-core density and fast storage. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of memory or additional drive bays should look at a larger configuration. The blade requires a compatible PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis and does not ship with an operating system or front bezel.

Sustained multi-core throughput

Under continuous load both Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs maintain their base 2.7 GHz across all 18 cores per socket. The PERC H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 without a dedicated cache module, so write-heavy streams rely on the SSDs' native endurance. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote power, thermal and firmware control during extended operations.
