DELL PowerEdge R640 8B SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P X710 8x 1.2TB SAS rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors deliver 36 total cores at 3.0GHz, supported by 256GB of DDR4 memory. An H730P storage controller manages eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

Organisations running multiple virtual machines, database instances or mixed application workloads will benefit from the dual-processor configuration and large memory capacity. The integrated graphics and lack of GPU expansion make this server unsuitable for GPU-accelerated compute, rendering or AI training tasks. Buyers needing more than 3TB of memory or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should consider other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6154 processors with 36 cores

The pair of Intel Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs provides 36 cores at 3.0GHz, forming the performance foundation for virtualization density and database throughput. This core count and clock speed determine how many concurrent workloads the system can handle effectively.
