DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server, dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz, 512GB DDR4, 61.44TB SSD

Dell PowerEdge R640 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense virtualization, software-defined storage and high-performance computing. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors with 16 cores each and 512GB of DDR4 memory deliver strong multi-threaded throughput for demanding workloads. Eight 7.68TB enterprise SATA SSDs provide 61.44TB of fast storage capacity. Hot-swappable redundant power supplies keep critical applications running during maintenance.

Suits virtualization hosts

This platform fits IT teams running dense virtual machines, private clouds or traditional applications that benefit from large memory and high drive counts. iDRAC9 Express enables remote management without a dedicated console. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, a smaller tower form factor or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other platforms. Installation of the included memory and drives is required before deployment.

61.44TB enterprise SATA SSD array

The storage subsystem centres on eight 7.68TB 2.5-inch SATA III SSDs managed by a PERC H730 12Gb/s RAID controller with 2GB non-volatile cache. Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1GbE networking handles data traffic. This capacity and interface combination determines whether the server matches your dataset size and throughput requirements.
