High-Density Rack Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 total cores at 2.1GHz, supported by 512GB of DDR4 memory. Ten 2.5-inch bays are populated with 600GB 10K SAS drives for operating systems, applications and data.

Suited for Multi-Tenant and Data-Heavy Tasks

This configuration suits IT teams consolidating multiple virtual machines, hosting business applications or running file storage and backup services in a data centre or server room. The integrated GPU and lack of discrete accelerator bays mean it does not serve workloads that require dedicated GPU compute or specialised add-in cards.

48-Core Xeon Platinum 8160 Processor Pair

The dual-socket LGA3647 platform reaches its maximum of two processors with the installed Platinum 8160 CPUs, providing 22 cores each at a 2.10GHz base frequency. This fixed 48-core ceiling determines whether the server matches the parallel throughput your virtualization layer or database engine requires.

Questions about this item

What rack width does the R640 10-bay chassis mount into?

The R640 is a rackmount server designed for standard data-center racks.

How are the two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors installed in the LGA3647 sockets?

Each processor seats in its own LGA3647 socket; the retention lever must be fully latched before the heatsink is torqued.

Which memory specification must replacement modules match?

Replacement modules must be DDR4 to match the installed 512GB configuration.
