DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 2× Gold 6126 12C 64GB 2× 800GB SAS SSD H730P

2U Rack Server with Dual 12-Core CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built around two Intel Gold 6126 processors. Each CPU delivers twelve cores at 2.6GHz with 19.25M cache. The chassis includes 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules and two 800GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration fits organisations running virtualised environments, mid-size databases or mixed enterprise applications that benefit from twenty-four total cores and hardware RAID redundancy. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow further storage expansion. Buyers who need GPU-dense compute, higher single-thread clock speeds or more than eight PCIe Gen 3 slots should evaluate alternative form factors.

Twenty-Four Cores Across Two Sockets

The defining specification is the dual-socket layout providing twenty-four physical cores at 2.6GHz. This core count drives parallel throughput for hypervisors, container clusters and multi-threaded databases. If the workload relies on maximum single-thread frequency or requires more than the installed 64GB DDR4, a different CPU or memory configuration will be necessary.
