Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for environments that value high per-core performance over raw core counts. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5122 processors running at 3.6GHz, each providing four cores for a total of eight threads. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory to support multiple services and virtual machines. It is suited for web hosting, network infrastructure, and light virtualization workloads.

Storage controller and drive bays

A Dell PERC H740P RAID controller is installed to manage the eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Trays are included, but drives are sold separately so you can select the capacity and type that match your workload. This flexibility lets you configure storage for databases, backups, or application hosting without being locked into a specific drive choice.

Networking and expandability

Dual 10GbE ports via the X540 controller and dual 1GbE ports via the I350 controller provide flexible connectivity for demanding network tasks. The integrated GPU handles basic display output without consuming a PCIe slot. With both processor sockets populated, the system reaches its maximum CPU configuration while leaving memory headroom up to the 3TB limit for future growth.
