Dense compute platform

The PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo deliver 16 total cores. 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Virtualisation and database fit

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines, running in-memory databases or hosting high-throughput applications that benefit from dual processors and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric integration. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays in a 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Memory headroom defines fit

The installed 512 GB leaves 2.5 TB of headroom across the remaining eight DDR4 slots up to the 3 TB maximum. This single figure determines whether the server can grow with the workload or whether a higher-density chassis is needed from the start. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are included for remote management and power resilience.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy rails or a bezel separately?

The server ships with the chassis, two Xeon Gold 6134 processors, 512GB DDR4, eight 800GB SATA SSDs, the H730P controller, the X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750W power supplies, Ready Rails and a front bezel — nothing extra is required for basic rack mounting.

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or look for a larger memory option?

This unit already contains 512GB across 16 DIMM slots; the platform supports up to 3TB total, so you can add modules later if the workload demands more capacity.

What does the 3.2GHz Xeon Gold 6134 speed mean for real-world throughput?

Each of the two 8-core CPUs runs at 3.2GHz base with a 3.7GHz turbo, giving 16 physical cores for parallel workloads such as virtualization or database serving.
