DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 2×Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24C 256GB DDR4 8×800GB SSD H730P

Ready-to-Deploy 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ network card are included.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and fast local storage for virtualisation clusters or transactional databases. The 2U form factor limits GPU or FPGA accelerator density, so buyers who require multiple double-width accelerator cards should look at a larger chassis.

24 Cores per Processor at 2.1 GHz

Each installed Xeon Platinum 8160 provides 24 cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo ceiling. This core count and clock speed determine whether the server meets the licensing and performance targets of the intended workload.
