DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon 5118 384GB DDR4 2x 300GB SAS

Blade Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute clusters. It ships with two Xeon 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 12 cores each, plus 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H330 RAID controller manages the two installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Integrated 10 Gb Ethernet and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Ideal For Virtualisation Hosts

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases where the 384 GB capacity and dual-socket throughput matter. Buyers who need more than two internal 2.5-inch drive bays or who require GPU acceleration should look at other platforms because the blade chassis limits internal storage to two drives and provides only integrated graphics.

Storage Controller Determines Fit

The PERC H330 SAS RAID controller dictates which drive types and RAID levels are available. Verify that its supported RAID modes and SAS connectivity match your redundancy and performance requirements before purchase.
