Dell PowerEdge R640 36-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0 GHz deliver 36 cores for multi-threaded performance. A 256 GB DDR4 memory configuration supports multiple virtual machines and data-intensive applications.

Suited for dense virtualisation and database tasks

Organisations that need a compact rackmount platform with dual processors, 256 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 2.5-inch drive bays will find this server a direct fit. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or more than eight drive bays should evaluate larger form-factor systems instead.

Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives with H730P controller

The chassis includes eight 600 GB 10K SAS 6 Gb/s hard drives managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy options and I/O performance for operating systems, virtual machines and business data.
