DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 64GB DDR4

2U Rack Server for Demanding Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for environments that require high compute density and storage flexibility. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules, leaving room to scale up to 3 TB across 24 slots.

Upgrade from Single-Socket or Lower-Core Platforms

This configuration replaces single-socket servers or dual-socket systems with fewer cores and lower clock speeds when workloads demand more parallel threads and memory bandwidth. The jump is worth it for virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high-performance computing tasks that saturate the 16 total cores and benefit from the PERC H730P controller’s support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes.

Organisations running VMware, Hyper-V or container platforms will find the core count, memory ceiling and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports a strong match. Buyers who need more storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch trays provide, or who require multiple double-width accelerator cards beyond the chassis limits, should look at larger form-factor platforms.
