Mission-Critical 3U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots, with a maximum capacity of 6 TB.

Suited For High-Density Compute

This configuration suits organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics that demand four-socket scaling in a compact chassis. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage Decides Fit

Storage is provided by eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the application needs solid-state latency or a different drive count, this specific unit will not match the requirement.
