Dell PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6150 18C 64GB DDR4 2x 1.92TB SSD H330 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dense compute blade for virtualisation clusters

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.7 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H330 controller drive two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in a compact 2.5-inch form factor.

Suited for scale-out clouds; not for GPU workloads

This configuration fits organisations expanding a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis who need dense, CPU-heavy nodes for virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing. Buyers requiring hardware-accelerated graphics, large local storage arrays or workloads that exceed 2 TB of memory per blade should evaluate alternative platforms.

Steady throughput with dual 10 Gb networking

Under sustained load the twin 18-core CPUs maintain consistent frequency while the Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb daughter card feeds data to the SSDs through the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides continuous remote monitoring and firmware orchestration without interrupting production traffic.
