2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon 6148

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server supplied with a rail kit for data-centre deployment. It ships new with dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each offering 20 cores at 2.40 GHz with a 3.70 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and 32 TB of enterprise nearline SAS storage on four 3.5-inch 8 TB drives.

Suited for virtualisation

This server targets organisations running virtualised environments, private clouds, software-defined storage or high-performance computing tasks. Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require integrated GPU compute or flash-based storage tiers should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache

The storage subsystem relies on a PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller equipped with 2 GB of non-volatile cache. This component determines the RAID levels, cache policies and drive connectivity available for the 32 TB SAS array. Memory and drives are packaged separately and require installation before use.
