Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built for heavy database and virtualisation workloads. Four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors each run 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across four modules.

Enterprise buyers needing maximum density

This server suits organisations that need four-socket performance in a compact 3U chassis with redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies. It is not for buyers who want more than 64 GB of memory pre-installed, nor for those who require solid-state drives or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots provided.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Eight enterprise 300 GB 10K SAS drives are fitted, delivering high-throughput local storage for transactional workloads.
