Dense 1U dual-socket server for virtualization

This 1U rack server fits two Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.20 GHz, giving 16 cores per CPU. The 128 GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy workloads. Eight 1.2 TB SAS drives provide the storage layer, managed by an integrated H740P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualization hosts and database nodes

IT teams building a compact virtualization cluster or a database node will use the dual-socket density and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. Buyers who need more than two processors or a larger memory footprint should look at a different platform. The fixed 1U height also limits internal expansion compared with taller chassis.

16 cores per processor at 3.20 GHz

Each installed Xeon Gold 6134 delivers 16 cores at 3.20 GHz, and the system supports a maximum of two such processors. This core count and clock speed determine how many concurrent virtual machines or database threads the server can handle. If the workload demands a higher core count per socket, this CPU configuration will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How often do the eight 1.2 TB SAS drives in the H740P array need replacement?

Enterprise SAS drives in a RAID configuration typically run several years; replace any drive that reports predictive-failure alerts or exceeds the rated workload limit.

Which component hits its limit first when the dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.20 GHz continuously?

The 128 GB DDR4 memory ceiling is reached before the 16 cores per socket saturate, so sustained workloads that need more capacity will bottleneck on RAM first.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the 1U chassis with two CPUs and eight drives running all day?

A 1U rack server with dual processors and eight SAS drives produces noticeable fan noise and exhaust heat; plan for a cooled rack aisle rather than a quiet office.
