48-Core Xeon Platinum Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 delivers 48 cores across two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz. It is a 1U rackmount system designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays for flexible storage configuration.

Virtualization and database hosts

This server suits teams consolidating multiple virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases with its 256GB DDR4 installed memory. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for compute workloads should look elsewhere because the graphics capability is integrated only. Organisations requiring more than two processors cannot expand beyond the factory maximum.

H730P RAID controller included

The integrated H730P storage controller manages the eight drive bays with hardware RAID support for performance and redundancy. It arrives with rack rails and front bezel for immediate deployment in standard cabinets. The system ships without an operating system so you can install your preferred hypervisor or platform.
