Ready-to-Deploy Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for immediate production use. It arrives with dual Intel Gold 6142 processors, each providing 16 cores for demanding workloads. The platform includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller to manage the storage array. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is standard for lights-out administration.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration targets IT teams that need a balanced compute-and-storage platform for virtualisation clusters, database instances or business-critical applications. The dual 16-core CPUs and hardware RAID controller support consistent multi-threaded performance. Buyers who require a higher drive count than the six installed bays provide, or who need 10 K SAS spindle speeds instead of 7.2 K nearline drives, should evaluate alternative configurations.

Six 2 TB 7.2 K SAS Drives on H740P

The storage subsystem consists of six 2 TB 7.2 K nearline SAS drives connected to the PERC H740P controller. This combination delivers hardware RAID redundancy and predictable throughput for nearline workloads. The 2.5-inch chassis supports a maximum of eight drives, leaving two bays available for future expansion if capacity requirements grow.
