48-Core Virtualisation Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.10GHz, giving the multi-threaded throughput needed to run many virtual machines or containerised services simultaneously.

H740P Controller and 2.5-Inch Bays

An integrated H740P storage controller manages the ten front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays, eight of which are NVMe capable for faster storage tiers. The dual-socket LGA3647 design uses both CPU sockets, leaving no room for additional processors but freeing PCIe lanes for network or accelerator cards the builder may add.

256GB DDR4 with 3TB Headroom

The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports up to 3TB total capacity across its DIMM slots. Ten new 1TB SATA SSDs provide a raw storage pool for operating systems, applications and data. Buyers who need more memory channels, larger drive counts or GPU compute density will need a different chassis.
