Server for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors deliver 44 total cores at 2.10 GHz to handle multi-threaded services. 256 GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications.

Suits teams with rack space and high core needs

This system fits organisations that run many virtual machines, host databases or need dense storage in a single rack unit. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 2 TB SSDs and managed by an H740P controller. Buyers without rack infrastructure or those needing GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

44 cores from two Gold 6152 CPUs

The processor configuration provides 44 cores across two sockets using the LGA3647 platform. This core count determines how many concurrent threads the server can run for virtualization or database tasks. Memory can be expanded to 3 TB DDR4 if workloads grow beyond the installed 256 GB.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the H740P controller sees all eight 2.5-inch drives after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST, verify the array shows eight 2TB SSDs, then check the operating system disk manager once Windows or Linux loads.

Which components are included and what must I source separately?

The system ships with dual Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs, 256GB DDR4, eight 2TB SSDs and the H740P controller; you must supply an operating system and any additional memory up to 3TB.

Should I choose the 256GB configuration or add more DDR4 up to the 3TB limit?

Start with 256GB for typical virtualization workloads; add modules later if you run many simultaneous virtual machines or memory-heavy databases.
