DELL PowerEdge R640 SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.20GHz 96GB DDR4 4x 1.92TB 2x 960GB SSD H740P rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 virtualization server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.20GHz, 96GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H740P storage controller. The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays populated with four 1.92TB drives and two 960GB SSDs.

Suited for multi-VM deployments not GPU compute

This configuration suits IT teams that need dense compute and storage for multiple virtual machines, backup targets or database instances in a single rack unit. Buyers who require dedicated graphics acceleration, more than two processor sockets or a tower form factor should look at other platforms. The integrated graphics and fixed 1U height limit expansion card options for specialised add-in cards.

Dual Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs define the performance

The two 8-core Gold 6134 processors operating at 3.20GHz set the baseline for virtualization density and thread count on this system. Memory scales to 3TB across the DDR4 slots when workloads grow beyond the installed 96GB. Storage capacity and RAID levels are managed by the included H740P controller across the ten available bays.
