Built for dense virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.4 GHz. With 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P controller managing two 7.68 TB SAS SSDs, it targets organisations consolidating workloads in a compact form factor.

Suits growing compute clusters; not for GPU-heavy AI

This configuration suits IT teams expanding virtualised environments or running database instances that benefit from high core counts and redundant 1100 W power supplies. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for machine-learning training or workloads demanding more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

PCIe Gen 3 expansion ceiling

The chassis provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots, which determines how many additional network cards, storage controllers or accelerators can be added. If your deployment requires more I/O lanes than Gen 3 supplies, a different server generation will be necessary.
