2U rack server with dual Xeon Platinum 8160

This DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives, a quad-port network daughter card and redundant 750 W power supplies are included.

Suited for dense virtualisation

The dual-socket design and large memory capacity suit environments that need high core counts and fast SAS storage in a 2U form factor. Buyers who need more drive bays, a different storage interface or a single-processor configuration should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache

The installed PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 2 GB cache. This controller determines which RAID levels and performance characteristics are available for the eight SAS drives.
