Tower Server for Virtualisation and Storage
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing four 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives. Dual gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express provide connectivity and remote management.
Suited to Database and File Workloads Not GPU
This configuration fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox virtualisation, Microsoft SQL Server databases, file and print services or backup repositories. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.2 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms. The tower chassis also requires floor space rather than a standard rack unless a conversion kit is added.
Two-Socket LGA 3647 Scalability Limit
The system board accepts a maximum of two processors in LGA 3647 sockets, so the installed pair of Gold 5120 CPUs already reaches the ceiling. Any future performance increase must come from memory or storage changes rather than additional sockets.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1.92 TB SATA SSDs or add more drives to the 16-bay chassis?
The server ships with four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs on the H730P controller, leaving twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap bays free for additional SAS, SATA or SSD storage.
What does the 2.2 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo mean for my workloads?
Each of the two Xeon Gold 5120 14-core processors runs at 2.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz, giving 28 total cores for virtualization, databases or file storage.
How does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA H730P controller limit drive performance?
The PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so the installed 1.92 TB SATA SSDs operate at SATA 6 Gb/s speeds with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
