DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6152 48GB 2x 1.8TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge M640 blade server

This Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server built for dense compute in a standard enclosure. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 30.25 MB cache each. Installed memory is 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs. Storage consists of two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller.

Suited for virtualisation clusters needing

The 48 GB capacity fits many general-purpose workloads but will limit memory-heavy databases or large VM counts. Buyers who need more installed RAM should look at a configuration with higher capacity modules. The dual 1.8 TB SAS drives provide modest capacity; workloads requiring faster or larger storage arrays need additional drive bays or external arrays.

Key spec: 48 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

This single figure determines whether the server can hold your working set. If the application fits, the dual Gold 6152 CPUs and SAS storage deliver consistent throughput. If it does not, the memory ceiling cannot be raised without replacing modules.
