DELL PowerEdge R640 10B 2x Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 512GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS rack server

Purpose-built virtualization server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 10B is a 1U rackmount server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0 GHz. Thirty-six total cores and 512 GB of DDR4 memory create a dense platform for running multiple virtual machines, databases or container workloads in a single rack unit. Dual-port 10 GbE and 1 GbE networking is integrated on the motherboard.

Fit for consolidation, not for capacity-only storage

This configuration suits IT teams consolidating older physical hosts onto fewer, more powerful nodes where core count and memory capacity drive licensing and performance. The ten 2.5-inch bays are populated with 600 GB 10 K SAS drives, so buyers who need more raw capacity or all-flash arrays should evaluate alternative chassis or drive selections.

Deciding specification: 36 cores at 3.0 GHz

The dual Gold 6154 CPUs deliver 36 cores at a 3.0 GHz base frequency, which determines how many concurrent virtual CPUs or database threads the server can sustain. Match this core-and-frequency combination to your workload sizing to confirm the R640 meets the performance target before purchase.
