Rackmount Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and 512GB of DDR4 memory. This configuration targets organisations that need dense compute in a single rack unit.

48 Cores at 2.1 GHz

The system provides 48 total cores across two sockets, each Xeon Platinum 8160 running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. This core count is the primary measure of how many virtual machines or parallel threads the server can sustain. Buyers needing more than 48 cores must select a different platform because the R640 supports a maximum of two processors.

Thermal and Power Profile

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and dual processors generate significant heat, so the chassis uses high-airflow fans that increase noise under load. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and the eight 600GB SAS drives spinning at 10K RPM. The integrated GPU adds minimal thermal load compared to discrete accelerators.

Questions about this item

What does the 48-core count mean for virtualization workloads?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors each deliver 24 cores at 2.10GHz, giving 48 total cores to run many virtual machines or containers simultaneously.

How does the H730P controller affect the 8 SAS drive bays?

The H730P RAID controller manages the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays, providing hardware RAID levels and cache for the installed 600GB 10K drives.

How much more DDR4 memory can be added beyond the 512GB installed?

The system supports up to 3TB of DDR4 2666 memory, so an additional 2.5TB can be populated across the remaining DIMM slots.
