DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 128GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

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 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide the storage foundation.

Suited for Consolidated Workloads

This configuration suits organisations that run memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics on a single node. Four sockets and 48 DIMM slots allow the memory to scale toward the 6 TB maximum when workloads grow. Buyers who need more than eight internal drive bays should look elsewhere, as the chassis provides exactly eight 2.5-inch slots.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache determines the storage capability. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode over 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links. The controller battery protects cached writes during power loss. Verify that your drive count and RAID level requirements match this controller before purchasing.
