Dual Xeon Gold 5118 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and provides twelve cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four 32 GB modules. A Dell PERC H330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations that run VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters and need dense 2.5-inch storage with hardware RAID. It also fits Microsoft SQL Server deployments, file and print services, backup targets and software-defined storage nodes. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration, more than two processor sockets or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays

The chassis provides sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch drive trays connected to the PERC H330 controller, which supports SAS and SATA drives. This bay count determines how many disks can be installed for capacity or redundancy without adding external enclosures. Verify that your storage plan matches the sixteen-bay limit and the SAS or SATA interface before purchase.
