Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 48-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 total cores at 2.1 GHz. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller.

Suits high-density compute.

This configuration suits organisations that need dense CPU performance and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. Buyers requiring dedicated graphics acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider alternative platforms. The integrated GPU handles basic display output only.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P controller

Storage drives are not included, allowing you to select the capacity and drive type that match your workload. The included H730P controller manages the eight hot-swap bays. Rack rails and front bezel are supplied for immediate deployment.
