DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS

Dual-Socket 1U Rack Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing eight cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Virtualisation Hosts And Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from 512 GB of RAM and dual 8-core CPUs. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or internal GPU expansion should evaluate alternative platforms. Organisations needing all-flash arrays or higher drive counts will need a different chassis.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots determines whether this server meets workload capacity requirements. The memory operates at 2400 MHz and supports a maximum of 3 TB when fully populated. Applications that demand large in-memory datasets or high VM density depend directly on this specification. Verify that your licensing and application scaling align with the available memory ceiling before deployment.
