Ready for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rack server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors deliver 44 cores in total, each running at 2.10GHz on the LGA3647 socket. The system ships with 384GB of DDR4 memory and an H740P storage controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are included along with rack rails and a front bezel for a complete rack-ready configuration. Drives and an operating system are not included.

Suits multi-service consolidation

This server suits IT teams that need dense compute and high memory capacity for running multiple virtual machines or data-heavy applications on a single platform. The integrated graphics and eight 2.5-inch bays support standard storage deployments with the supplied H740P controller. Buyers who require discrete GPU acceleration or a larger number of drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

384GB DDR4 memory installed

The single specification that decides fit is the 384GB of DDR4 memory already populated across the DIMM slots. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or database instances can run simultaneously without swapping. The board supports a maximum of 3TB, so future expansion is possible if the current configuration becomes a limit.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 44-core configuration for heavy virtualization or a smaller core count for lighter workloads?

The 44-core total comes from two 22-core Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs at 2.10GHz, giving strong multi-threaded capacity for running many virtual machines or containers simultaneously.

How does the 384GB DDR4 memory perform when the server hosts dozens of VMs?

With 384GB DDR4 installed you can allocate generous memory to each VM, reducing swap activity and keeping database or application caches in fast memory.

What does the H740P controller cap for the eight 2.5-inch drive bays?

The H740P RAID controller manages all eight 2.5-inch bays, providing hardware RAID levels and cache-backed write performance for the drive array you install.
