DELL PowerEdge R640 8B SFF 48-Core 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 2.9GHz 128GB DDR4 H730P X550-T-4 Rails Bezel

48-Core Rack Server for Virtualisation

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 Platinum 8268 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.9 GHz for dependable multi-threaded performance. 128 GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications. An H730P storage controller, rack rails and front bezel are included for a rack-ready configuration.

Suits dense compute; not for GPU

This server suits organisations that need high core density in a single rack unit for virtualisation clusters, database nodes or application tiers. The 128 GB DDR4 baseline handles moderate consolidation, and the H730P controller manages RAID across the drive bays. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI, rendering or VDI workloads will need a platform with PCIe GPU support. Teams that need more than eight 2.5-inch drives for large local datasets should consider a chassis with additional bays.

Eight 2.5-inch bays define storage capacity

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, which sets the maximum number of drives you can install internally. No drives are included, so you select the capacity and drive type that match your workload. The H730P RAID controller supports the arrays you build across those bays. If your deployment requires more internal drives than eight, this chassis cannot accommodate them.
