DELL PowerEdge R640 8B rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5122 3.60GHz 128GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS

Built for Virtualisation and Databases

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server designed for business workloads such as virtualisation, database hosting and I/O-intensive applications. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5122 processors run at 3.60GHz with four cores each, delivering 8 cores and 16 threads total. 128GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory supports multiple services and virtual machines. Eight 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS drives provide high-speed storage access for rapid data retrieval and redundancy.

Fits a Dense Rack Build

The 1U form factor suits space-constrained racks where compute density matters. Dual 10GbE X540 and dual 1GbE I350 ports handle network traffic without extra cards. The PERC H740P RAID controller manages the eight populated 2.5-inch bays, simplifying storage setup and daily management. Hot-swappable drives allow replacement without downtime. No operating system is included, so you install the hypervisor or OS of choice.

Capacity Headroom for Growth

Installed memory sits at 128GB against a 3TB maximum, leaving room to scale as workloads expand. Two processor sockets are both filled, so CPU upgrades require replacing the existing Gold 5122 chips. All eight drive bays are occupied by 1.2TB SAS units; adding capacity means swapping to larger drives or attaching external storage. The configuration targets high-speed transactional workloads and hybrid storage systems rather than massive archival capacity.
