Dense 1U Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Gold 6136 processors and 128 GB of DDR4 memory into a single rack unit. It is built for businesses that run virtualisation clusters, databases or mixed application workloads on premises.

Suited for Scale-Up Workloads

This configuration suits IT teams that need dense compute with local SAS storage and a hardware RAID controller. Buyers who require 10 GbE networking, GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should consider a different platform.

Dual-Socket Xeon Gold 6136 Core Count

The server delivers 24 cores at 3.0 GHz with Turbo Boost to 3.7 GHz across two sockets. That core density determines whether the box can handle your virtual-machine count and licensing model.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 cores and 3.70 GHz turbo handle sustained virtualization workloads without throttling?

The two Xeon Gold 6136 processors provide 24 total cores with a 3.70 GHz turbo boost, designed for continuous virtualization and database tasks.

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get with redundant power supplies running 24/7?

The 1U rack form factor uses redundant hot-swap power supplies and front-to-rear airflow to manage heat and noise during all-day operation.

Do I need to supply my own SAS cables or drive carriers for the eight 1.2TB drives?

The server includes eight 1.2TB SAS drives and the H740P RAID controller; drive carriers and internal cabling are factory-installed.
