DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Gold 5220S 48GB 2x 1.8TB SAS

DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Dual Xeon Gold

The DELL PowerEdge M640 is a blade server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5220S processors running at 2.7 GHz. It provides 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS storage controller. Two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is included.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing dense

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts that need dense compute within a blade chassis. Buyers who need more than 48 GB of memory or additional drive bays should look at a different platform. Workloads that require GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics. The single 10 GbE dual-port adapter limits network expansion.

Dual 5220S CPUs deliver 36 cores at 2.7 GHz

The two Xeon Gold 5220S CPUs deliver a total of 36 cores with 24.75 MB cache each at 2.7 GHz. This core count and clock speed decide whether the blade meets the throughput requirements of the target workload. Memory can be expanded to 1 TB using DDR4 modules. Storage capacity is fixed by the two installed 1.8 TB SAS drives.
