DELL PowerEdge R640 10B 2x Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P 10x 600GB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R640 10-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 20 cores for 36 cores total. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P storage controller. Ten 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives.

Virtualisation and database hosts needing dense

This server suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory in a compact 1U form factor for virtual machine clusters or database instances. The dual-socket design maxes out at two processors, so buyers who require more than two sockets should look at other platforms. Workloads that demand dedicated GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics. The 10-bay chassis limits internal storage to the installed SAS drives unless external enclosures are added.

36 total cores from dual Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs

The defining specification is the dual-processor configuration delivering 36 combined cores at 3.0 GHz, which determines how many concurrent threads the server can execute. This core count directly drives virtual machine density and database throughput capacity. Memory scales to 3 TB, but the processor core ceiling is fixed at 36. Match this figure to your licensing and concurrency requirements before purchase.
