Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6244 processors running at 3.6 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with a 2-port 10 GbE 562T network adapter.
Suited for virtualisation and database clusters
This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation hosts or in-memory databases. Buyers who require installed storage drives should look elsewhere because no drives are included. The integrated graphics and single GPU slot limit use cases that depend on discrete accelerator cards.
768 GB DDR4 installed memory decides fit
The single specification that determines suitability is the 768 GB of DDR4 memory already installed across the 24 DIMM slots. This capacity supports dense virtual-machine consolidation and large data-set processing without immediate upgrades. The board accepts up to 3 TB total, so future expansion remains possible when workloads grow.
