Dual-Socket 1U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache manages the two installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives.

Virtualisation Hosts Not GPU Workloads

Organisations running virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from 24 total cores and 128 GB of memory will find this platform suitable. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should look elsewhere.

Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis

The 1U chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and is populated with two 300 GB 10K SAS units. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB of DDR4. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, ready rails and a front bezel are included.
