Mission-critical 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors deliver 64 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives provide large capacity and fast storage access.

Suited for dense compute and virtualization

This configuration suits organisations running heavy virtualization, large databases or real-time analytics that need four-socket performance in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require solid-state storage, GPU acceleration or a smaller power envelope should evaluate other platforms.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6142 topology

The defining specification is the four-socket design populated with Xeon Gold 6142 16-core CPUs. This topology sets the maximum thread count, memory channel population and licensing tier for the deployment.
