Dell PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" 28-Core 2x Xeon Gold 6132 2.6GHz 128GB DDR4 H730P 8x 600GB SAS rack server

Built for virtualization and database workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R640 rackmount server is configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6GHz, delivering 28 total cores for multi-threaded business applications. It includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and eight 600GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller, suited for file storage, virtualization, databases and application hosting. Integrated graphics and LED indicators for power, Ethernet and USB complete the 2.5-inch drive bay chassis.

Suits organisations running mixed business

The dual-processor layout and 128GB DDR4 capacity support multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications simultaneously. The eight-bay 2.5-inch design with 10K SAS hard drives provides rotational storage for operating systems, backups and business data. Buyers who need flash-based storage arrays or dedicated graphics acceleration should consider other platforms because this unit relies on integrated graphics and SAS hard drives. The 3TB maximum memory ceiling also limits extremely large in-memory deployments.

28 cores from two Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors, each contributing 20 cores for a combined 28-core count at 2.6GHz base frequency. This core density determines how many concurrent threads the server can handle for virtualization, database queries and application hosting. The LGA3647 socket and DDR4 memory architecture are fixed by this processor choice, setting the upgrade path for any future expansion.
