DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

Dual-Socket 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center computing. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited For Dense Virtualisation And Storage

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, database clusters or high-throughput storage tiers that benefit from 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, more than two processor sockets, or storage interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

128 GB DDR4 ECC Memory Installed

The server ships with 128 GB of registered DDR4 ECC memory populated in eight of 24 available slots, leaving room to expand toward the 3 TB maximum. This installed capacity determines whether the system can immediately support the intended virtual machine density or database buffer pool without additional memory procurement.
