DELL PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" 48-Core 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 128GB DDR4 H730P rack server

48-core Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz. Together they deliver 48 cores and 128GB of DDR4 memory for virtualization, database, and application hosting workloads. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and an H730P controller provide flexible storage configuration. The unit includes rack rails and a front bezel for immediate deployment.

Suits virtualization and database hosts

This configuration fits teams consolidating multiple virtual machines or running memory-intensive business applications on a single 1U chassis. The dual-processor design and large memory capacity support heavy concurrent workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for compute or rendering tasks should look elsewhere, as only integrated graphics are present. Organizations requiring more than two sockets or memory beyond 3TB will need a larger platform.

128GB DDR4 with 3TB ceiling

The installed 128GB of DDR4 handles dozens of virtual machines and sizable databases comfortably, while the 3TB maximum leaves headroom for future growth. Eight drive bays accept a mix of SSDs and HDDs to match capacity and speed requirements. The H730P controller manages RAID arrays without consuming a PCIe slot. Memory and storage expansion beyond the shipped configuration will require additional modules and drives purchased separately.
