Dell PowerEdge R640 rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors running at 3.00GHz, 96GB of DDR4 memory, six 512GB SSDs and a PERC H740P storage controller. A front bezel is included for a complete rack-ready configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations that need a dense 1U platform with dual 12-core CPUs, integrated graphics and ten 2.5-inch drive bays for mixed workloads. Buyers who require discrete GPU acceleration, more than 96GB of memory out of the box, or a tower form factor should consider other options.

Deciding specification — dual Xeon Gold 6136 CPUs

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors, each with 12 cores at 3.00GHz, which sets the compute ceiling for virtualization density and database throughput. If your workloads need higher core counts per socket or faster single-thread speeds, this configuration will not match those requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a single-processor or the dual-processor version of the PowerEdge R640?

This unit already includes two Xeon Gold 6136 CPUs, each running at 3.00 GHz with 12 cores, so the dual-processor configuration is the one supplied.

What does the 3.00 GHz clock speed mean for real-world virtualization workloads?

Both processors run at 3.00 GHz with 12 cores apiece, providing consistent frequency for hosting multiple virtual machines and database instances.

How does the H740P controller affect the six 512 GB SSDs in the 2.5-inch bays?

The H740P manages the six 512 GB SSDs across the ten 2.5-inch bays, handling RAID configuration and I/O for the installed drives.
