DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz 16-core 256GB DDR4 4x 1.92TB SATA H330 2x 750W

Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports optional rack conversion. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors, each running at 2.3GHz with 16 cores and a 3.9GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules. A Dell PERC H330 storage controller manages four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis.

Suitable For Virtualisation And Storage Workloads

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters. It also fits database hosting, file services, backup targets, and software-defined storage roles. The dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. Buyers who need higher core counts per socket, larger memory capacity beyond 1TB, or GPU-accelerated compute density should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 5218 16-Core Processors

The two installed Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs deliver 32 total cores at 2.3GHz base clock with 3.9GHz turbo capability. This processor choice determines the server's throughput for multi-threaded applications and virtual machine density. The LGA 3647 socket platform supports a maximum of two processors, so this unit is already at the scaling limit for this chassis.
