2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 19.25M cache. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 memory arranged as four 16GB PC4-2666 modules. An H730P RAID controller manages the internal drive bays.

Suits Dense Compute, Not High-Capacity Storage

This configuration suits buyers who need dense compute performance in a standard rack footprint. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays limit raw capacity compared to 3.5-inch alternatives. Organisations requiring large local storage pools should look at chassis designs with larger bay counts or external arrays. The included 1100W redundant power supplies support high-availability needs.

Dual 10GbE Network Ports Decide Fit

The integrated Intel X550 controller provides two 10Gb RJ45 ports alongside two 1Gb RJ45 ports. This connectivity level determines whether the server fits existing network infrastructure without extra NICs. Up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for additional I/O expansion if the onboard links are insufficient. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management.
