DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 8 Bay 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12 Core 512GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.4TB SAS

Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache provide high-performance internal storage.

Suited For Scale-Out Workloads

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from dual-socket density in a single rack unit. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory occupies 16 of the 24 available DIMM slots, leaving room for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum supported by the Intel C620 chipset. This memory capacity directly determines how many virtual machines, containers or in-memory databases the server can host simultaneously. Verify that your workload fits within this limit or plan for additional modules before deployment.
