DELL PowerEdge R440 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 128GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.5" fillers

Dense 1U rack server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R440 fits a full dual-socket configuration into a single rack unit, targeting data-centre racks where space is at a premium. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo, while 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory supports dense virtualisation and database tiers. The PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache manages up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays, currently populated with fillers.

Sustained throughput with dual 550W platinum

Redundant 550 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies keep both CPUs and the storage controller fed during continuous load without throttling. The H730P battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 during extended rebuilds or heavy write streams. iDRAC 9 Express provides out-of-band health telemetry so administrators can track thermals and power draw over weeks of production runtime rather than minutes of benchmarking.

Replaces older 2U boxes when rack density becomes

Organisations consolidating multiple legacy 2U servers into a single 1U node gain the jump when they need more cores per rack unit and can populate the eight drive bays with their own SAS or SATA media. The step is less suited for buyers who need GPU acceleration, additional PCIe slots beyond the standard complement, or front bezel and ready rails included in the shipment.
