DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6154 18C 32GB DDR4 H330 2x2.5" 10Gb iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dense compute blade for virtualisation clusters

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density deployments. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors provide 36 cores running at 3.0 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Installed memory totals 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC across four modules. A PERC H330 controller manages up to two 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.

Suits scale-out workloads needing 10 Gb networking

This blade fits organisations running virtualisation, private cloud or HPC tasks that benefit from dual 10 Gb ports on the Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle management without an operating system. Buyers who require local NVMe storage, GPU acceleration or more than two drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs define the performance

The pair of 18-core processors delivers 36 threads and a 3.7 GHz maximum turbo, setting the ceiling for compute-intensive applications. Memory can be expanded to 1.5 TB across 16 DDR4 slots when workloads demand larger datasets. The fixed two-socket design means core count cannot increase beyond this configuration.
