DELL PowerEdge R940 rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 128GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P iDRAC9 2x 1600W

Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores, into a 3U rack chassis. It targets organisations that need maximum compute density for databases, virtualisation or real-time analytics without expanding beyond a single rack unit.

Hot-swap power and flexible connectivity

Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays keep the system running during maintenance. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives, while the X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management.

Upgrades from dual-socket platforms when memory

The 48 DIMM slots and 6 TB maximum memory let you grow far beyond two-socket limits, and the four-socket topology reduces latency for NUMA-sensitive applications. Buyers who need fewer cores, less memory capacity or only 1 GbE networking will find smaller systems more cost-effective.
