Enterprise Virtualisation Platform
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for high-density virtualisation, in-memory databases and compute-intensive business workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 physical cores at 2.7GHz, backed by 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Integrated PERC H740P RAID control and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE networking provide the I/O foundation for demanding enterprise stacks.
36 Cores at 2.7GHz Decide Fit
Two Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs, each with 18 cores running at 2.70GHz, give 36 threads of Skylake-SP compute power. That core count and clock speed determine whether the box can sustain your virtual machine density, database concurrency or HCI node requirements. If the workload needs more cores per socket or higher single-thread frequency, this configuration will not meet the target.
8-Bay Chassis with Controller Included
The 8-bay 2.5-inch front tray set ships empty so you select the exact SSD or HDD mix the workload demands. H740P hardware RAID is factory-fitted, removing the need for a separate controller purchase and freeing a PCIe slot for additional networking or acceleration cards. Dual 10GbE X540 and dual 1GbE I350 ports are onboard, leaving expansion room for specialised interconnects. Drives, rails and operating system are not supplied.

Questions about this item
With two Gold 6150 CPUs at 2.70GHz and 36 total cores, what kind of real-world workload does that handle?
The dual 18-core processors deliver 36 physical cores at 2.70GHz, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization clusters, in-memory databases and heavy application hosting.
What network speeds do the X540 and I350 ports actually provide?
The X540 controller supplies two 10GbE links while the I350 adds two 1GbE links, so you get dual 10Gb and dual 1Gb connections from the same chassis.
How many 2.5-inch drives can the 8-bay front section hold and what controller manages them?
Eight 2.5-inch trays are included and the PERC H740P RAID controller manages the array with 2GB cache.
