48-Core Rackmount Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It ships new with dual processors and a front bezel for immediate rack deployment.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs

Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors deliver 48 total cores at 2.70GHz, providing the multi-threaded capacity that decides whether this server fits your virtualization density or database concurrency requirements.

256GB DDR4 with H740P Controller

The installed 256GB DDR4 memory supports sustained multi-VM operation while the H740P controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays for consistent storage throughput under continuous load.

Questions about this item

How many virtual machines can the 48 cores handle at once?

The two Xeon Platinum 8168 processors give 48 cores at 2.70GHz each, letting you run many virtual machines simultaneously; actual density depends on the workload you assign to each core.

What does the H740P controller limit for the eight drive bays?

The H740P manages the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and caps the RAID level and throughput to what that controller supports; drives are not included so you choose capacity and type.

What rack depth does the 60-weight chassis need?

The 1U chassis weighs 60 and fits a standard four-post rack; the front bezel adds minimal depth while the eight hot-plug trays slide out fully for drive changes.
