DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 512GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS

Dual-socket 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a rack-mount server system built for dense scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors deliver sixteen cores at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Memory capacity reaches 512 GB across sixteen registered ECC DDR4 modules.

Virtualisation hosts versus GPU-dependent workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised databases, high-performance computing clusters or memory-intensive analytics where dual-socket density matters. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or direct-attached flash tiers should look elsewhere because the 1U chassis and storage controller do not support those add-ins.

512 GB DDR4 installed memory

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory populating sixteen of twenty-four slots. This single figure determines whether the server can hold your working set or if a higher-capacity configuration is required.
