Rackmount Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed.

Suited for Consolidated Workloads

This system suits organisations that need high core density and fast local storage in a compact form factor. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate alternative platforms that include those interfaces.

28-Core Processor Configuration

The dual Gold 6132 CPUs provide a combined 28 physical cores with a base frequency of 2.6GHz, delivering the multi-threaded throughput required for virtual machine density and database performance.

Questions about this item

When will the eight 600 GB SAS drives need replacement?

Eight 10K SAS drives are installed; plan to replace any drive that shows SMART errors or reaches its rated workload limit.

What limits sustained compute throughput first?

Two 18-core Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6 GHz share the memory bus and H730P controller, so heavy multi-threaded workloads hit CPU and I/O ceilings together.

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get under all-day load?

Compact 1U airflow forces high fan speeds when both 18-core processors and eight drives run continuously, so expect audible fan noise and warm exhaust air.
