Dell PowerEdge R640 10-Bay Virtualization Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It ships new with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz, providing 48 total cores across two sockets. The platform includes 512GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1TB SATA SSDs installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited For Virtualization And Database Workloads

This configuration suits IT teams consolidating multiple virtual machines, running business applications or managing backup repositories in a standard rack environment. The dual-processor design and high core count support heavy multi-threaded tasks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, fibre-channel connectivity or more than ten drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

48-Core Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 Configuration

The single specification that decides fit is the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 layout delivering 48 cores at 2.10GHz with 512GB DDR4. This CPU and memory combination determines the virtualization density and database throughput the server can sustain. Verify that your workload licences and thread requirements align with this core count and clock speed before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 10-bay chassis with ten 1 TB SATA SSDs or a smaller drive count for my virtualization cluster?

The 10-bay chassis holds ten 2.5" drives; the listing includes ten 1 TB SATA SSDs, giving 10 TB raw capacity for virtual machines and databases.

What does the 48-core total from two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs at 2.1 GHz deliver in a live hypervisor?

Two Platinum 8160 processors provide 48 cores at 2.1 GHz, allowing dense virtual-machine placement and consistent throughput for business workloads.

Does the X540/I350 network adapter limit my 10 GbE backbone to 1 GbE speeds?

The X540/I350 combination supplies both 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports, so the 10 GbE links are not capped by the 1 GbE interfaces.
