DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server, Dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz, 256GB Memory, 7.68TB SSD

Dense Virtualisation Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a compact form factor. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 32 cores and 64 threads with a 2.10 GHz base clock and 3.70 GHz turbo. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and 7.68 TB of enterprise SATA SSD storage in a four-drive configuration. Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 remote management support continuous operation.

Suited For Multi-Tenant Workloads

This server suits IT teams running dense virtualisation, software-defined storage or private cloud environments where core count and memory bandwidth matter more than single-thread speed. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB cache and quad-port 1 GbE networking provide the I/O foundation for mixed read-write workloads. Buyers who need faster single-thread performance, GPU compute slots or storage interfaces beyond SATA should evaluate alternative platforms. The included Windows Server 2022 Standard licence covers 16 cores.

32-Core Xeon Gold 6130 Foundation

The defining specification is the dual Xeon Gold 6130 configuration delivering 32 physical cores and 64 threads at 2.10 GHz base frequency. This core density determines whether the platform can meet the concurrent thread demands of virtualisation hosts, container clusters or high-performance computing nodes. All other capabilities — memory capacity, storage throughput, network connectivity — scale from this processor choice.
