Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute and storage. It carries two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each with 12 cores at 2.6GHz and 19.25M cache. Memory totals 32GB DDR4 in two 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Six 120GB SATA RI SSDs sit in an 8-bay 2.5" chassis managed by a H730P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualised workloads and databases

This server suits virtualised workloads and databases that need many cores and fast networking. The dual 10Gb RJ45 ports and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports handle heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than 32GB RAM or more than six drives out of the box should look elsewhere. The chassis has two free 2.5" bays for later expansion.

Storage controller and drive count decide fit

The H730P controller manages the six installed 120GB SATA SSDs and supports the remaining two 2.5" bays. If your deployment needs a different RAID level or a larger drive count, the controller choice is the deciding factor. The system includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management.
