Dense virtualisation host in 1U

The Dell PowerEdge R640 packs two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9GHz, delivering 48 cores total and 512GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and an H730P controller provide fast local storage. Integrated graphics and dual 10GbE ports handle display and network duties without extra cards.

Buyers who need GPU compute, more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 3TB should look elsewhere. The eight 2.5-inch bays are fully populated, leaving no room for additional drives.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8268 at 2.9GHz

The 48 combined cores set the performance ceiling for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation clusters and database instances. If your licences or code scale poorly past 24 cores per socket, a lower-core alternative may be more cost-effective.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.9 GHz Xeon Platinum 8268 processors throttle during long virtualization runs?

The system uses two 24-core Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs at 2.9 GHz with integrated GPU; sustained turbo depends on workload and chassis airflow.

How loud and hot does the 1U rackmount get with eight 1.2 TB SAS drives spinning 24/7?

Eight 2.5-inch 10K SAS drives plus dual CPUs generate significant heat; fan speed ramps under load, producing noticeable datacentre-level noise.

Do I need to supply my own operating system and hypervisor licences?

The server ships without an operating system; you must provide and install your preferred OS and virtualisation platform.
