DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 512GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Dual-Socket 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for dense scale-out data center computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each delivering 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases. The eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and PERC H730P controller provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory occupies 16 of the 24 available DIMM slots and supports a maximum capacity of 3 TB. This specification determines whether the server can handle your working set without immediate memory expansion. Verify that your workload fits within this capacity or plan for additional modules at purchase.
