Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data center workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages two 400 GB SATA SSDs in eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM, more than 24 DIMM slots or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms.

Max memory capacity 3 TB

The R640 supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, which determines how far the platform can scale for memory-intensive applications. The installed 256 GB uses eight slots, leaving headroom for expansion within the same chassis.
