2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts and database workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a dense form factor.

Six 960GB SAS SSDs on H730P

The storage subsystem provides six 960GB SAS solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P hardware RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, leaving two bays available for expansion. SAS connectivity ensures consistent throughput and dual-port reliability for mission-critical datasets.

Eight PCIe Gen 3 Slots and Dual 10GbE

Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accommodate additional network cards, GPU accelerators or storage controllers. Integrated networking uses an Intel X550 controller providing two 10Gb RJ45 ports and two 1Gb RJ45 ports. Redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform for lights-out data-centre deployment.
