Dell PowerEdge R640 server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a rackmount server system designed for business workloads including file storage, virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors running at 3.20GHz deliver dependable performance for multi-threaded tasks. 48GB of DDR4 memory and five 512GB solid-state drives provide capacity for operating systems, virtual machines and data.

Suited for multi-service virtualisation

This configuration suits IT teams that need a dense 2.5-inch drive platform with an integrated H740P storage controller for simplified array management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints beyond 48GB, or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative systems.

Dual 12-core Xeon Gold 6146 CPUs

The pair of 12-core Xeon Gold 6146 processors at 3.20GHz determines the compute throughput available for virtualisation and database workloads. If your licensing model or application scaling depends on core count or clock speed, verify these figures match your requirements before purchase.
