Built for mission-critical workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules and eight 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits dense virtualisation and in-memory databases

This configuration targets organisations running large virtualised environments, ERP systems or real-time analytics that benefit from four sockets and high memory capacity. The 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4 for future expansion. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 with 768 GB DDR4

The defining specification is the four-socket layout populated with Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs delivering 64 total cores and 768 GB of DDR4 memory. This combination determines whether the server matches the compute and memory demands of your workload before considering storage or networking options.
