Dell PowerEdge R640 28-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.60GHz with 128GB DDR4 memory installed. An H730P controller manages eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in 2.5in bays.

Suits virtualisation and database hosts.

This configuration fits organisations running multiple virtual machines, file storage or data-heavy applications that benefit from high core counts and SAS reliability. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look elsewhere. The integrated graphics and lack of additional PCIe cards limit graphical compute capability.

128GB DDR4 installed memory

The system ships with 128GB DDR4 installed and supports up to 3TB maximum capacity across the board. This starting point handles many consolidation scenarios, while the 3TB ceiling allows future expansion for larger memory footprints.
