Dense Virtualization Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It targets IT teams needing high compute density in a standard data-centre or server-room environment. The system arrives without an operating system, ready for hypervisor or OS deployment.

28-Core Xeon Gold 6132 Configuration

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 total cores at 2.60 GHz on the LGA3647 socket. This specific CPU pairing determines the raw throughput available for virtual machines, containers and data-heavy services. Buyers who need more cores per socket or higher single-thread frequency must select a different processor option.

128GB DDR4 With 10-Bay SAS Storage

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives, offering fast local capacity for operating systems, VMs and backups. Memory slots support DDR4 up to a 3 TB ceiling, leaving headroom for future expansion. Integrated X540/I350 network controllers handle connectivity without consuming PCIe slots.
