1U Rack Server for Virtualisation and Databases

This 1U Dell PowerEdge R640 is built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors deliver 16 cores in total at 1.80 GHz. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory to support multiple services and virtual machines. Four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs provide capacity for operating systems, applications, virtual machines and business data.

Check Rack Space and Storage Controller

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 1U 2.5-inch SFF chassis before ordering. The unit ships with a Dell Perc H740p RAID controller; ensure your existing cabling and backplane match this controller type. Confirm that your power distribution units supply the required connectors for dual-processor operation. Memory slots use DDR4 modules only; other generations will not fit.

Sustained Load Behaviour with Dual Xeon and RAID

Under continuous workloads the dual 8-core Xeon Silver 4108 CPUs maintain steady throughput for virtualisation and database tasks. The H740P RAID controller manages the four 1.92 TB SSDs to deliver consistent I/O performance during extended backup or application hosting sessions. DDR4 memory bandwidth supports prolonged multi-VM operation without short-burst throttling. Thermal design in the 1U form factor is engineered for sustained rack-mount duty cycles.

Questions about this item

Does the 1U R640 ship with rails, bezel or caddies, or must I buy them separately?

The unit is supplied as a 1U rack server with four 2.5-inch drive bays populated; mounting rails, front bezel and any spare caddies are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the dual 8-core Silver 4108 at 1.80 GHz or a single higher-clock CPU for virtualization?

The system arrives with two Silver 4108 processors totalling 16 cores at 1.80 GHz, giving more concurrent threads for hypervisor workloads than a single faster chip would provide.

Will the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs behind the H740P controller sustain database IOPS in production?

The H740P RAID controller manages the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs with hardware RAID and cache, delivering consistent IOPS for databases and virtual-machine storage in a 1U chassis.
