DELL PowerEdge R640 10B 2x Xeon Gold 6148 2.40GHz 512GB DDR4 10x 1TB SATA rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 10-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It operates with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.40GHz, delivering 40 total cores across both CPUs. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 memory to support multiple simultaneous services and virtual machines. Ten 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 1TB SATA SSDs for operating systems, applications, and data storage.

Ideal for virtualization and data-intensive tasks

This server suits IT environments needing high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualization clusters, database engines, or backup repositories. The 10-bay configuration supports substantial local storage in a compact rack form factor. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for compute workloads should look elsewhere, as graphics are handled by an integrated controller only. The two-socket limit means the platform cannot scale beyond the installed processors for future growth.

512GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed 512GB DDR4 memory is the key specification determining suitability for memory-heavy workloads such as large virtual machine fleets or in-memory databases. While the platform supports a maximum of 3TB, the current configuration provides a dense starting point for consolidation projects. Verify that your application memory footprint fits within this 512GB baseline before deployment.
