Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server for Virtualisation

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 16 GB modules and four 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes redundant 1100 W power supplies.

Suits dense compute clusters.

The dual 10-core CPUs and large memory capacity suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-density compute clusters. The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and dual 10 Gb RJ45 ports support fast networking and storage expansion. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drive bays should look at a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays define storage limits

The chassis provides a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drive bays, of which four are populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays. This bay count is the single specification that determines whether the server can meet your storage density requirements.
