DELL PowerEdge T440 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12 Core 64GB DDR4 H730P 4x 1.92TB SATA 2x 750W

Purpose-Built 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores, giving 24 total cores supported by 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 16GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache manages four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives, while dual 750W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation Hosts and Storage Nodes

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The sixteen-bay chassis and iDRAC 9 Express remote management simplify large-scale file storage, backup targets or software-defined storage workloads. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute or storage tiers beyond SATA and SAS media should evaluate alternative platforms because this chassis and controller are designed for those interfaces.

Dual Xeon Gold 5118 Configuration

The decisive specification is the dual-socket LGA 3647 platform populated with two Gold 5118 CPUs, providing 24 cores at 2.3GHz base clock and 64GB of DDR4-2400 memory. This processor and memory combination determines whether the server meets the performance envelope for your virtualisation density, database licensing or compute licensing requirements.
