DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4210 2.2GHz 10-core 64GB DDR4 H330 4× 960GB SSD

Enterprise 5U server for virtualisation and storage

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and ten cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Four 960 GB enterprise SATA SSDs are installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for database hosting

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and general file-storage roles. The sixteen drive bays allow further SAS or SATA expansion without adding external enclosures. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, higher single-thread frequencies or GPU-accelerated compute density should consider other platforms.

Dual 10-core Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs set the compute

The pair of Silver 4210 processors delivers twenty cores at 2.2 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo, defining the maximum concurrent thread capacity for this server. Memory can scale to 1 TB across sixteen DDR4 slots, and the H330 controller manages up to sixteen SATA or SAS drives. This CPU specification is the primary factor when sizing the system for virtualisation or database workloads.
