DELL PowerEdge R540 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10 Core 256GB DDR4 8x 4TB SAS H330 2x 750W

Rack Server for Virtualisation & Databases

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database hosting and file serving. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors provide 20 cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 4 TB SAS drives give large capacity for data-intensive workloads. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Suits Growing Workloads Not GPU Compute

This server suits organisations expanding on-premise infrastructure who need redundant power, hot-swap drives and integrated remote management. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, single-thread frequencies above 3.0 GHz, or flash storage tiers should look elsewhere. The chassis supports a maximum of two processors and 384 GB of memory. Workloads requiring more cores or memory channels will need a different platform.

Storage Decided by Eight 4 TB SAS Drives

Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives deliver 32 TB of raw capacity behind the PERC H330 controller. The 12 Gb/s SAS interface determines throughput and latency for every application. If capacity, spindle speed or controller features do not match the workload, the server will not perform as required.
