Dell PowerEdge R540 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rackmount server system built for expanding business and data centre environments. It arrives new with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each offering 10 cores at 2.2GHz with 3.0GHz turbo capability.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, software-defined storage or database applications that benefit from 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 16GB modules. The PERC HBA330 controller delivers 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for high-capacity storage arrays. Buyers requiring integrated RAID processing or larger memory capacities should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4114 processors

The two 10-core Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs define the compute ceiling for this unit, operating at a 2.2GHz base frequency with 3.0GHz turbo. This specific processor choice determines the server's suitability for your workload profile before any other component is considered.
