Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors providing 44 cores total at 2.10GHz, 512GB of DDR4 memory and eight new 2TB SSDs driven by an H740P storage controller.

Pre-order checks

Verify that your rack accepts standard 1U rackmount dimensions and that your power infrastructure can support the unit's weight of 60kg. Confirm the LGA3647 socket matches any planned processor changes and that the 8x 2.5-inch drive bay layout fits your storage topology. The system arrives without an operating system so plan for installation separately.

Fit and alternatives

This server suits IT teams needing dense compute and memory for virtualization clusters, database nodes or backup targets in a single rack unit. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays or memory capacity beyond the 3TB maximum should evaluate other platforms.

Questions about this item

Does the PowerEdge R640 arrive with the two Xeon Gold 6152 processors, 512GB of DDR4 memory and eight 2TB SSDs already installed?

Yes, the server ships with both 20-core Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs at 2.10GHz, 512GB DDR4 RAM and eight new 2TB SSDs populated in the 2.5-inch bays, plus the H740P storage controller.

Should I choose the 44-core dual-CPU configuration or a single-CPU version for heavy virtualization?

The 44-core dual-socket layout doubles the thread count and memory channels, letting you run far more virtual machines and memory-intensive workloads than a single-CPU alternative.

What does the 512GB DDR4 figure mean for actual VM density on this R640?

With 512GB installed and a 3TB ceiling, you can allocate generous memory to each virtual machine — supporting dozens of concurrent VMs before needing to add further modules.
