DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6132 14C 32GB 8x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740 dual Gold 6132 server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 2 x 16 GB configuration and eight 960 GB SAS solid-state drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management for data-centre operators.

Suited for virtualisation clusters needing dense

This configuration fits environments that want eight hot-swap bays populated with high-capacity SAS flash and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than 32 GB of memory, additional drive bays beyond the eight provided, or a different network interface than the Intel X550 dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE ports should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification: eight 960 GB SAS SSDs

The installed set of eight 960 GB SAS solid-state drives behind the H730P controller delivers the storage capacity and RAID flexibility that define whether this chassis meets the workload. If the application needs a larger raw capacity, a different drive interface, or a controller with external ports, this specific build will not match the requirement.
