Dual Xeon Gold 6134 2U Rack Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5 inch bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise are included.

Suited for dense virtualisation

The 768 GB memory capacity and dual-socket design fit virtualisation hosts and database servers that need many threads and large RAM. The eight drive bays with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 support local storage redundancy. Organisations that require more than two processors, GPU accelerator slots or 3.5 inch drive bays will need a different chassis.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730P with 2 GB cache and battery backup, providing 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity and full RAID level support. This controller determines which drive types and RAID modes are available, so verify that your intended drive protocol and RAID level match its capabilities before purchase.
