Enterprise 5U Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache support virtualisation, database hosting and file storage workloads. Four 960 GB SATA SSDs and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power and fast storage access.

Suits Consolidation, Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits IT teams building VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays for mixed SAS and SATA drives. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration, more than two sockets or integrated 10 GbE networking will need a different platform. The installed 32 GB RAM leaves headroom to scale toward the 1 TB maximum across sixteen slots.

Dual 12-Core Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs

The decisive specification is the pair of Gold 5118 processors delivering twenty-four total cores at 2.3 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo. This core count and frequency determine how many virtual machines or database threads the server can handle before a CPU upgrade is required.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 960 GB SSD configuration or add more drives to the empty bays?

The server ships with four 960 GB SATA SSDs on the H730P controller and twelve open 2.5 inch bays. Adding matching SSDs lets you expand a RAID 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 array without changing the controller.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo mean for my virtualization host?

Each Gold 5118 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz on active cores. With two 12 core CPUs you get 24 threads at base speed and higher single-thread bursts for latency-sensitive VMs.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS SATA H730P controller limit drive throughput?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA lanes. The installed 960 GB SSDs are SATA 6 Gb/s devices, so each drive tops out at the SATA link speed rather than the controller's SAS ceiling.
