DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 128GB DDR4 8x 800GB SSD

2U Dual-Socket Server with 128GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs populate the 2.5-inch drive bays, and a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines, running in-memory databases or hosting latency-sensitive workloads that benefit from high core counts and fast local flash. Organisations needing more than two processor sockets, larger memory capacity than the 24 DIMM slots allow, or a different drive interface will need to evaluate alternative platforms.

3 TB Maximum Memory Capacity

The system supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, so the installed 128 GB leaves substantial headroom for future expansion. Confirm that your application’s memory footprint fits within this ceiling before committing to the platform.
