DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4214 2.2GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 16x 2.5" trays H330 2x 750W

Purpose-built 5U tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that accepts an optional rack conversion kit. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and twelve cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Two 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies provide redundant power.

Virtualisation hosts and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Microsoft SQL Server, file services, backup targets or software-defined storage on up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express remote management simplify deployment. Buyers who need more than two processors, memory beyond 1 TB, or a smaller physical footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The chassis provides sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch trays connected to the H330 controller for SAS and SATA drives. No drives are included, so capacity and performance scale with the media selected. This bay count is the primary factor for storage-dense applications such as backup repositories or software-defined storage clusters.
