Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server for virtualisation
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each offering 10 cores at 2.4GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and four 7.68TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management.
Check rack space and power before ordering
Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U unit and that you have redundant power circuits for the 1100W power supplies. Confirm the server will connect to your network via the Intel X550 dual 10Gb RJ45 and dual 1Gb RJ45 ports. Ensure your hypervisor or operating system supports the installed hardware and that you have available PCIe Gen 3 slots for any additional cards.
Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads
This configuration suits organisations running memory-intensive virtual machines or databases that benefit from 512GB of RAM and fast SAS SSD storage. Buyers needing GPU compute, larger local storage arrays beyond eight bays, or newer PCIe generations should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 16 DIMM population also limits future memory expansion without replacing modules.
