Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0GHz provide 36 total cores for dependable performance across multi-threaded tasks.

Suited for IT teams running mixed workloads

Organisations that need dense compute and storage in a single rack unit will benefit from the 128GB DDR4 memory and eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with new 1TB SATA SSDs. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, additional PCIe expansion beyond the integrated X550-T4 networking, or memory capacities above the installed 128GB should evaluate alternative configurations.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SFF storage layout

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SFF bays filled with 1TB SATA SSDs and managed by an H730P storage controller, delivering the capacity and redundancy needed for operating systems, virtual machines and business data in a compact form factor.
