DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4214 2.2GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 H730P

DELL PowerEdge T440 5U tower server

This DELL PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that can be converted for rack mounting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors, each running at 2.2GHz with 3.2GHz turbo across 12 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suits virtualization, database and file workloads

The dual 12-core Xeon configuration and 256GB DDR4 suit virtualization hosts running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as Microsoft SQL Server, database hosting and software-defined storage. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays with four included trays support SAS, SATA and SSD media. Buyers needing more than two sockets, memory beyond 1TB, or a different drive form factor should consider other platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4214 with 12 cores each

The decisive specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors delivering 24 total cores at 2.2GHz base and 3.2GHz turbo on the LGA 3647 socket. This CPU choice fixes the platform to DDR4 ECC registered memory with a 1TB ceiling across 16 slots and defines the PCIe lane budget for the H730P controller and dual 1GbE ports. Confirm the core count and clock speed match your licensing and performance model before purchase.
