Dual Xeon Gold 6148 server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 40 cores in total at 2.4GHz for dependable multi-threaded performance. It targets IT teams that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

8-bay SFF storage with H730P

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays hold 1TB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P hardware RAID controller for simplified array setup and daily management. Front-panel LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB status at a glance. The chassis weighs 55 units and supports up to two processors in LGA3647 sockets.

256GB DDR4 ready to deploy

The system arrives with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed and can scale to 3TB for memory-heavy services. No operating system is included, so administrators install their preferred hypervisor or OS. Integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete GPU. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look elsewhere.
