Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Gold 6148 processor with 20 cores at 2.4GHz and 27.5M cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory in a 2x16GB configuration and includes four 960GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots for expansion.
Suitable for virtualisation and database workloads
This configuration suits environments that need strong multi-threaded performance and hardware RAID redundancy in a compact 2U form factor. The single-socket design and 32GB base memory limit scope for large-scale virtualisation clusters or memory-intensive analytics without additional investment. Buyers who require dual-processor density, higher initial memory capacity, or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate other platforms.
Single Intel Gold 6148 20-core processor
The installed CPU delivers 20 cores at 2.4GHz with 27.5M cache, defining the server's peak compute throughput. Memory currently occupies two slots as 2x16GB PC4-2666 DDR4 modules, leaving room for expansion within the platform limits. The H730P controller manages the four 960GB SAS SSDs and can support additional drives up to the eight-bay chassis maximum. Network connectivity includes two 10Gb RJ45 and two 1Gb RJ45 ports via the Intel X550 NDC.
