Dual-socket 1U rack server

The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz and eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. The Dell PERC H730P controller manages eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5 inch bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise are included.

Suited for dense compute and virtualisation

This configuration suits workloads that need high core count and fast local SAS storage in a single rack unit. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require more than 24 memory slots, more than two processors or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with a battery-backed 2 GB cache. It handles the eight installed SAS drives and can manage additional SAS or SATA devices within the chassis. This single specification determines whether the server matches your storage architecture.
