Dense virtualisation server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense virtualisation and database workloads. Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.10 GHz, supported by 256 GB of DDR4 memory. An integrated H740P controller manages the ten 2.5-inch drive bays, eight of which are NVMe capable. The system ships without an operating system or drives.

Suits consolidated workloads, not GPU compute

This configuration suits IT teams consolidating many virtual machines or running memory-heavy databases in a single rack unit. The 3 TB maximum memory ceiling leaves headroom for growth. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity should look elsewhere, as the platform provides only integrated graphics and standard Ethernet.

Ten 2.5-inch bays with eight NVMe lanes

The single specification that decides fit is the ten-bay 2.5-inch chassis with eight NVMe-capable slots. If your storage plan requires more than ten drives or relies on 3.5-inch media, this chassis will not accommodate it.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to add more memory later?

The server ships with 256 GB DDR4 installed and supports up to 3 TB, so you can start now and expand as workloads grow.

What does the 48-core total mean for virtualization density?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 48 cores at 2.10 GHz, giving ample threads for running many virtual machines simultaneously.

How many NVMe drives can the 10-bay chassis actually use?

Eight of the ten 2.5-inch bays are NVMe-capable, letting you populate up to eight NVMe drives while the remaining two bays accept other 2.5-inch drives.
