DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller provide internal storage.

Suited for virtualization hosts

This configuration suits organizations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. The dual-processor design and 24 memory slots support demanding workloads such as virtualization, in-memory databases and high-performance computing. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drive bays should consider alternative platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays wired to a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a battery-backed cache. This bay count and controller combination determines how many physical drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available.
