Rack server for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6 GHz to handle multiple services and data-heavy applications.

128 GB DDR4 memory for multi-VM capacity

Installed memory is 128 GB of DDR4, expandable to a maximum of 3 TB. This capacity supports running many virtual machines and memory-intensive business applications simultaneously.

Eight 2.5-inch bays and H730P controller ready

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays with trays included; drives are not supplied so you choose capacity and type. The H730P storage controller, rack rails and front bezel are included for a complete rack-ready setup.

Questions about this item

How does the 28-core total translate when running virtual machines on this server?

With two Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.6GHz you have 28 physical cores to schedule vCPUs, letting you size each VM to the workload without oversubscribing the host.

What does the H730P controller limit in an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

The H730P manages up to eight 2.5-inch drives through its internal ports, so the bay count is the practical ceiling for internal arrays.

What clearance and rails are required to mount the 1U chassis in a cabinet?

The unit occupies a single rack unit and includes sliding rails that secure to standard square-hole posts for front and rear mounting.
