DELL PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" 2x Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 512GB DDR4 H730P

Dual Xeon Gold 6154 Virtualization Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors, each running at 3.0GHz with 18 cores for a total of 36 cores. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 memory to support multiple virtual machines and data-heavy services. It is sold without an operating system or storage drives.

Sustained Load With H730P Controller

Under continuous demand, the dual-socket design distributes threads across both CPUs while the integrated H730P storage controller manages RAID arrays for consistent I/O throughput. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis allows dense storage configurations to keep data local during heavy read and write cycles. Front-panel LEDs provide immediate status visibility for power, network, and USB activity without opening the rack. The included rails and bezel support a secure, airflow-optimised installation.

512GB DDR4 Determines VM Density

The installed 512GB DDR4 capacity sets the practical limit for concurrent virtual machines and in-memory database workloads on this platform. Buyers who need more memory headroom must add modules up to the 3TB maximum supported by the platform. Builders requiring GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity will find no dedicated expansion slots populated in this configuration. Drives must be purchased separately to complete the storage layer.
