Server for virtualisation and database workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides twelve cores, giving twenty-four cores in total. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory are installed across two modules. A Dell PERC HBA330 controller manages storage through four included 2.5-inch drive trays.

Suited to memory-light, compute-heavy roles

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database servers or backup targets where CPU threads matter more than large memory footprints. The sixteen installed slots allow expansion up to the platform maximum of 1 TB. Organisations needing high-capacity local storage from day one should note that no drives are included and only four trays are supplied.

Twenty-four cores from dual Gold 5118 CPUs

The pair of twelve-core Xeon Gold 5118 processors delivers twenty-four physical cores at 2.3 GHz base clock. This core count is the primary factor for licensing and throughput planning in virtualised or multi-threaded environments.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.3 GHz base or the 3.2 GHz turbo frequency for my workload?

The Xeon Gold 5118 runs at 2.3 GHz base and boosts to 3.2 GHz turbo automatically; both figures describe the same 12-core processor, so no separate version exists to select.

What does the 16 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory mean for actual database performance?

The installed 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory provides a starting point; the system supports up to 1 TB across 16 slots, so larger databases will require adding modules.

How does the HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive throughput?

The PERC HBA330 connects drives at up to 12 Gb/s per SAS or SATA lane, so each 2.5-inch bay is capped by that interface speed rather than by a RAID processor.
