DELL PowerEdge R940 rack server 4× Xeon Gold 6148 2.4 GHz 20-core 64 GB DDR4 8× 1.2 TB SAS H730P

Mission-critical 4-socket rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount system built for heavy database and virtualization workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory populate four of the forty-eight available slots.

Suited for dense compute clusters

This server fits organisations that need maximum core density and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support high-throughput storage and network fabrics. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P controller with eight 1.2 TB SAS drives

The integrated Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages the eight installed 10 K SAS drives in RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve-gigabit SAS connectivity and a battery-backed cache protect data during unexpected power loss. Storage capacity is fixed at the eight-drive configuration unless the chassis is expanded externally.
