Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay server
This Dell PowerEdge R640 rackmount server arrives new with two Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.60GHz with 12 cores for 22 total cores. It includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and an H730 storage controller managing two 1TB SSDs across eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The integrated X520 adapter provides high-speed network connectivity for demanding workloads.
Suits virtualization, database
The dual-processor design and large memory capacity support multiple virtual machines and data-intensive business applications simultaneously. The eight-bay chassis allows further storage expansion beyond the included SSDs. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for compute tasks or workloads requiring more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.
Two Xeon Gold 6126 CPUs with 22 total cores
The installed processors deliver 22 cores at 2.60GHz, defining the throughput ceiling for virtualization density and database concurrency. Memory scales to 3TB DDR4 when additional modules are added. This core count is the primary factor in deciding whether the server matches the intended workload profile.

Questions about this item
Does the Dell PowerEdge R640 8B ship with rails, power cords or an operating system, or must those be purchased separately?
The server arrives as a chassis with two Xeon Gold 6126 processors, 128GB DDR4, an H730 controller and two 1TB SSDs already installed. Rails, power cords and an operating system are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 8-bay 2.5-inch model or a different bay count for virtualization workloads?
The 8-bay 2.5-inch layout fits up to eight drives, giving room for the included 1TB SSDs plus additional capacity for virtual machines, databases or backups without needing an external enclosure.
What does the 22-core total across both Xeon Gold 6126 CPUs mean for real-world virtualization density?
With 22 physical cores running at 2.60GHz and 128GB DDR4, the system can host multiple virtual machines simultaneously, keeping latency low for business applications, file storage and database workloads.
