DELL PowerEdge R640 48-Core 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 2.9GHz 128GB DDR4 8x 1TB SATA SSD

Purpose-built 48-core rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server configured with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9GHz. Forty-eight total cores and 128GB of DDR4 memory provide a dense compute platform for virtualization, database, backup and application-hosting workloads. An integrated H730P controller and X550-T4 network adapter handle storage and connectivity.

Fits consolidation, not GPU or massive memory

This system suits teams consolidating multiple services onto a single box where core count and memory capacity matter more than graphics acceleration. Buyers who require dedicated GPU compute, larger DDR4 populations beyond the installed 128GB, or expansion beyond eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch SATA SSD bays define storage limits

The chassis accepts exactly eight 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives, all populated with new 1TB units in this configuration. Capacity and drive type are fixed by the backplane, so any storage expansion requires replacing existing drives rather than adding new bays.
