Purpose-built virtualization server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for virtualization, database, backup and application hosting workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors deliver 44 total cores at 2.10GHz each. 384GB of DDR4 memory is installed to support dense virtual machine deployments.

Check compatibility before ordering

This unit ships without storage drives; you must supply 2.5-inch drives that match the H730P controller and your capacity requirements. An operating system is not included, so plan for hypervisor or OS installation. Verify rack space, power infrastructure and cooling capacity for a 60kg 1U chassis.

Replaces older virtualization hosts

The 44-core configuration and 384GB DDR4 upgrade smaller or single-socket servers that struggle with concurrent VMs or memory-intensive databases. The jump is worthwhile when current hosts hit CPU scheduling limits or memory saturation during peak workloads. It is not suited for GPU-accelerated AI training or workloads requiring large 3.5-inch drive bays.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PowerEdge R640 ship with any storage drives or only the 8x 2.5" trays and H730P controller?

The server includes the H730P storage controller and eight 2.5-inch drive trays, but no drives are installed so you can select the capacity and type that suit your workload.

How do the two Xeon Gold 6152 processors differ from a single-CPU configuration in core count?

Each Gold 6152 has 22 cores, so the dual-socket R640 delivers 44 cores total — twice the thread count of a single-processor build.

What does the installed 384 GB of DDR4 memory mean for virtualization density on this R640?

With 384 GB already populated, the system can host many virtual machines or memory-intensive databases before you need to add modules up to the 3 TB maximum.
