Purpose-built virtualisation server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors and 768GB of DDR4 memory, designed for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, file storage and application hosting. Eight new 2TB SSDs and an H740P storage controller provide high-capacity, managed storage for operating systems, virtual machines and backups. The 44-core configuration delivers dependable multi-threaded performance for data-heavy services. It ships without an operating system, ready for your chosen hypervisor or platform.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Organisations running on-premise virtualisation clusters, database servers or mixed application workloads will benefit from the high core count, large memory footprint and integrated storage controller. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering or VDI workloads should look elsewhere because the system only provides integrated graphics. Environments that require fibre-channel connectivity or specialised expansion cards not supported by the available bays will also need a different platform.

Deciding specification

The installed 768GB of DDR4 memory is the single specification that determines whether this server can hold your working set of virtual machines and databases without paging to disk. If your workloads fit within this capacity the R640 will deliver consistent performance; if they exceed it you will need a system that supports more memory.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 740P storage controller and configure the 8x 2.5" bays without missing the array build step?

The 740P controller is pre-installed; technicians set up the BIOS, configure the controller, build the array and update drivers before shipment so the server arrives ready for the operating system.

What maintenance will the 768GB DDR4 memory and 8x 2TB SSDs require over time?

DDR4 modules and SSDs have no scheduled maintenance; monitor SMART data on the drives and replace any module or drive that reports errors.

Which limit appears first when the 44 cores run at 2.10GHz continuously?

Sustained full-core workloads are constrained first by the 60 kg chassis thermal envelope and the integrated GPU shared memory bandwidth.
