DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Gold 6126 256GB 4x 7.68TB SAS SSD rack server

Dual Intel Gold 6126 12-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 16 GB modules and four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an iDRAC9 Enterprise module for remote management.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration fits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from twenty-four cores and a large DDR4 footprint. The four high-capacity SAS SSDs provide fast redundant storage for critical datasets. Buyers who need more internal drive bays than the four populated slots or who require PCIe Gen 4 connectivity should consider other platforms.

Twenty-four cores and 256 GB DDR4 decide fit

The combined twenty-four cores at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4-2666 memory define whether this server matches the compute and memory profile of the target workload. If the application demands higher core counts, faster memory speeds or a different storage interface, this unit will not meet those requirements.
