Target workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R740 server delivers dual Xeon Gold 5218R processors at 2.1 GHz with 20 cores each and 27.5 MB cache, plus 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database engines or high-performance computing jobs that demand many cores and large memory capacity in a 2U rack form factor.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers who need pre-installed storage drives must add them separately because the chassis ships empty. Teams requiring GPU acceleration will find only integrated graphics on board. Environments that need more than two sockets or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate larger platforms.

Drive bay count

The 8 LFF bays accept 3.5-inch SATA drives and are managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller, so the number of bays decides how much raw capacity and redundancy you can build.
