Dell PowerEdge R940 3U four-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for heavy enterprise workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots. Two redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for database and virtualisation clusters.

This server fits organisations running large databases, in-memory analytics or dense virtualisation hosts that need four sockets and high core counts. The eight 2.5-inch bays populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives deliver fast local storage. Buyers who require GPU accelerator slots or more than eight drive bays should consider other platforms.

PERC H730P controller with eight 1.2 TB SAS drives

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages the eight installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives over a 12 Gb/s interface. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This storage subsystem determines whether the server meets your capacity and redundancy requirements.
