48-Core Virtualisation Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.90GHz. Together they provide 48 cores for demanding virtualisation and database workloads. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 memory and eight new 1TB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P storage controller.

Suits multi-tenant hosting, not GPU compute

This server suits organisations that need dense CPU resources for virtual machines, file storage, backups and application hosting. Buyers who require dedicated graphics acceleration or specialised GPU compute should look at a different platform.

512GB DDR4 memory ceiling

The installed 512GB of DDR4 memory supports large memory footprints typical of virtualisation and in-memory databases. Buyers planning workloads that exceed this capacity will need to add modules up to the platform limit.
