Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for heavy enterprise workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each and 256 GB of DDR4 memory.

Suits dense compute, not scale-out

This configuration fits teams consolidating virtualisation hosts, large databases or in-memory analytics into a single chassis. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms.

48 DIMM slots define ceiling

The system provides 48 DDR4 slots with a 6 TB maximum capacity, so the 256 GB installed today can grow substantially. Memory expansion is the primary upgrade path before a platform change is required.
