Dell PowerEdge R740 dual Silver 4210R

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each with ten cores at 2.4GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32GB modules and includes four 480GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads.

This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances or mixed enterprise workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb Ethernet ports support demanding network traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should look at alternative platforms.

512GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed 512GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32GB DIMMs is the specification that determines whether this system matches the workload. It supports memory-intensive applications and high consolidation ratios without requiring immediate upgrades.
