Built for Virtualization and Databases

This Dell PowerEdge R640 rackmount server is designed for business workloads such as file storage, virtualization, databases, backups, and application hosting. It arrives new and ready for integration into existing infrastructure. The system supports demanding multi-service environments with dependable processing power. Buyers who need a tower form factor or integrated GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 48-Core Configuration

Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.10GHz, delivering 48 total cores with 24 cores per CPU. This processor count is the decisive specification for heavily threaded applications and dense virtual machine deployments. The platform supports a maximum of two processors, so no further CPU expansion is possible. Builders who require higher single-thread frequencies or more than 48 cores will need a different platform.

256GB DDR4 and 10-Bay Storage Flexibility

The server includes 256GB of DDR4 memory across a platform that scales to 3TB, freeing DIMM slots for future growth. Ten 2.5-inch drive bays connect to an H730P storage controller, letting you choose capacity and drive type without a pre-installed operating system. An operating system and storage drives must be sourced separately to complete the deployment.
