Server for virtualization and database workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.90GHz, delivering 48 cores for multi-threaded applications. It includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller managing eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays, suited for virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting.

Suited for dense compute and SAS storage needs

This configuration fits teams that require high core counts and 12Gb/s SAS storage in a compact rackmount form factor. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or a deeper 3TB memory ceiling should look at alternative configurations that support those requirements.

48 cores and 128GB DDR4 drive capacity decisions

The dual 20-core Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs provide 48 total cores at 2.90GHz, which determines how many concurrent virtual machines or database threads the server can handle. The installed 128GB DDR4 can be expanded toward the 3TB maximum if workloads grow.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the R640 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis require?

The server is a 1U rackmount unit; it slides into a standard four-post rack using Dell sliding rails that match the chassis depth.

Which step is often missed when seating the H730P controller and connecting the eight 1.2TB SAS drives?

After inserting the H730P into the dedicated low-profile slot, the mini-SAS HD cables must be locked onto both the controller and the backplane before power-on.

When will the 128GB DDR4 memory need expansion and what limit applies?

The system supports up to 3TB total; add registered DDR4 DIMMs in matched sets per processor when workloads exceed the installed capacity.
