Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0 GHz. Eighteen cores per processor deliver 36 total cores for multi-threaded workloads. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory and ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays. The system is designed for virtualization, database and application hosting in data-centre racks.

Ideal fit and limits

This server suits IT teams that need dense compute and local SAS storage for virtual machines, file services or backup targets. Buyers who require dedicated graphics acceleration, larger memory footprints above 3 TB or drive bays beyond the ten 2.5-inch slots should evaluate other platforms. The integrated GPU covers only basic display output. No operating system is included.

Deciding specification

The ten 600 GB SAS drives set the usable capacity and I/O profile for the chassis. Each drive spins at 10K RPM and connects through the onboard SAS backplane. If your workload demands more raw capacity or a different drive interface, this configuration will not match.

Questions about this item

What does the 36-core count mean when this server is running real workloads?

The two installed Xeon Gold 6154 processors give 36 total cores at 3.0 GHz, providing the thread capacity to run multiple virtual machines, databases and business applications at the same time.

How does the X540/I350 network interface affect throughput in practice?

The X540/I350 combination delivers 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports, so the server can handle high-speed storage replication and standard LAN traffic without adding extra network cards.

What does the 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis require for mounting?

The 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis is a rack-mount unit designed for standard server racks and includes the rails needed for installation in a data centre or server room.
