DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 H730P 16x 2.5" trays 2x 750W

PowerEdge T440 5U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server designed for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power.

Suited for virtualisation and storage-heavy roles

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters. The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays support SAS, SATA, and SSD media for large local storage arrays. It is less appropriate for buyers who need only a single processor, require a rackmount chassis without a conversion kit, or want a server with drives already installed.

Dual Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs define capacity

The two 12-core Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 total cores at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.0 GHz turbo. This core count and clock speed set the performance ceiling for compute-intensive tasks such as database hosting and software-defined storage. Buyers needing higher core counts or different processor models must select another platform.
