Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay SFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6 GHz, paired with 256 GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays hold 600 GB SAS hard drives managed by an H730P controller.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This server suits teams running multiple virtual machines, file storage or backup services that rely on CPU cores and memory capacity. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets. Integrated graphics and a maximum of two CPUs limit its fit for graphics-intensive or larger-scale compute clusters.

28-core Xeon Gold 6132 configuration

The dual-socket Xeon Gold 6132 arrangement provides 28 total cores at 2.60 GHz, which is the specification that determines whether the system matches your compute density requirements. Memory scales to 3 TB of DDR4, and the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS storage with the included H730P controller.
