DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4108 1.80GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 10x 1.92TB SATA SSD H740P

Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, and application hosting. It ships new with two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.80 GHz, providing 16 cores total. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1.92 TB SATA SSDs managed by an H740P RAID controller. This configuration targets organisations that need dense compute and storage in a single rack unit.

Suited For And Not Suited For

This server suits IT teams deploying virtualised environments, database instances, or backup repositories that benefit from the installed 10-bay 2.5-inch drive layout and hardware RAID. It is not suited for buyers who require more than two processors, a memory generation other than DDR4, or a drive interface other than SATA. Workloads needing GPU acceleration or a different form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4108 16-Core Foundation

The dual Intel Xeon Silver 4108 configuration delivers 16 physical cores at 1.80 GHz, which determines the server's baseline compute capacity for multi-threaded applications and virtual machine density. With a maximum of two processors supported, this specification defines the upper scaling limit for the chassis. Buyers should match this core count and clock speed to their licensing and performance requirements before purchase.
