DELL PowerEdge R440 rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10-core 32GB DDR4 H730P 8x 600GB SAS 2x 550W

Dense 1U rack server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre deployment. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors provide twenty cores at a base frequency of 2.2GHz. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory supports reliable operation for virtualization, application hosting and database workloads. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express enable remote administration.

Sustained performance

Under sustained load both Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs can reach a 3.0GHz turbo frequency across their ten cores each. The PERC H730P controller with two gigabytes of cache and battery backup maintains write performance during extended RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 operations. Eight 600GB 10K SAS drives deliver consistent 12Gb/s throughput for mixed read and write patterns. Dual 550 watt platinum power supplies provide redundancy so the server remains operational if one unit fails.

Verify rack depth and operating system RAID

The 1U form factor requires a standard four-post rack with sufficient depth for cable management at the rear. Confirm that your hypervisor or operating system includes drivers for the PERC H730P controller and supports the desired RAID level. Network infrastructure must provide two Gigabit Ethernet ports for the integrated adapter. Note that front bezel and ready rails are not included with this unit.
