DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8 Core 256GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

Dense Dual-Socket 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 8 cores and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots, supporting up to 3 TB total capacity. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory footprints in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-performance computing workloads. The eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and PERC H730P controller deliver substantial rotational storage with hardware RAID flexibility. Buyers who require flash-only arrays or GPU compute density should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P 2 GB RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P storage controller manages the eight 2.5-inch SAS drives with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage stacks. This controller determines which drive types and RAID topologies are available, so confirm compatibility with your storage architecture before deployment.
