DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 512GB DDR4 H730P 2x 400GB SSD

1U Rack Server With Dual Platinum 8160 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-centre deployments. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages storage.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not Single-Socket Builds

This platform targets organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing clusters that benefit from dual-socket scaling. The 24 DIMM slots and 3 TB maximum memory capacity support large memory footprints. Buyers who need only a single processor or fewer than 16 memory modules will not use the available capacity. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis limits internal drive count to eight devices.

PERC H730P Controller With RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60

The installed Dell PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller provides hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight data during power loss. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed in the front bays. The controller determines which RAID configurations and drive types are supported.
