Built for virtualization and data workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server configured with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. It delivers 48 total cores at 2.1GHz to handle business applications, virtualization, databases, and file storage in a compact form factor.

Dual 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs

Each processor provides 24 cores running at 2.10GHz in an LGA3647 socket, reaching the system maximum of two CPUs. This 48-core foundation determines whether the server meets the compute density your workloads require.

H730P controller, rails, and bezel included

The PERC H730P storage controller manages the eight 2.5-inch drive bays, while the included rack rails and front bezel complete a rack-ready installation. Drives and an operating system are not supplied, so you select the capacity and software that fit your environment.
