DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4214 2.2GHz 12-core 32GB DDR4 H730P 4x 960GB SSD

Dual Xeon Silver 4214 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server configured with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores across the system. It targets organisations that need scalable compute for virtualisation, database hosting or software-defined storage workloads. The platform supports optional rack conversion for flexible deployment.

32 GB DDR4 with 1 TB headroom

The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four of sixteen available slots. This capacity handles light to moderate virtual machine densities and file serving tasks comfortably. Memory can be expanded up to 1 TB when workloads demand larger in-memory datasets or higher consolidation ratios. The PERC H730P controller manages the four included 960 GB SATA SSDs with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Upgrade from single-socket towers

This configuration replaces single-processor tower servers that have exhausted their core count or memory slot limits. The jump is worthwhile when applications benefit from 24 cores and the ability to scale memory to 1 TB without changing chassis. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays provide room to grow storage well beyond the four installed drives. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should evaluate larger platforms.
