DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8 Core 768GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Dual-Socket 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense data-center deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.10 GHz with 8 cores each, 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 400 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Virtualisation Hosts vs GPU Workloads

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running memory-intensive databases, or deploying scale-out compute clusters where 768 GB of RAM and dual 8-core CPUs provide strong thread density. The 2.5-inch SATA SSD array and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking support mixed read-write workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory fills all 24 DIMM slots and defines the server's immediate capacity for in-memory databases, large VM counts, or high-performance computing tasks. Expanding beyond this limit requires replacing modules because the board supports a maximum of 3 TB. Confirm that your workload fits within 768 GB or plan a memory redesign before purchase.
