Dual-socket 2U rack server with 40 total cores

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors. Each CPU provides 20 cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, delivering 40 cores and 80 threads in a single chassis.

Suits virtualisation hosts

Organisations that require more than two sockets or larger memory capacity than 3 TB should evaluate other platforms. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage controller feature set will also need to look elsewhere.

PERC H730P controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P storage controller offers 2 GB of cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines which RAID levels are available for the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs.
