Four-socket Xeon Gold 6134 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for organisations that run large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics on premises. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each with eight cores at 3.2 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, deliver 32 total cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads. It suits IT teams that need maximum CPU density in a standard rack footprint.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 slots, reaching a maximum capacity of 6 TB. This configuration fits workloads that fit comfortably in mid-range memory footprints today but can scale significantly without replacing the chassis or motherboard.

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs on PERC H730P

Storage is provided by eight 400 GB enterprise SATA SSDs managed by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The array offers fast read performance for boot, logging and active data sets, while write-intensive or capacity-heavy applications will require additional or larger drives.
