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 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Suited for virtualization and database clusters

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache. Buyers who require installed solid-state drives or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA bays with no drives included

The chassis provides eight hot-swap trays for SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs, but no drives are installed. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, managed remotely through iDRAC 9 Enterprise.
