DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Platinum 5217 3.0 GHz 384GB DDR4 2x 300GB SAS

Blade Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a blade server system equipped with two Xeon Platinum 5217 processors running at 3.0 GHz. It comes with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS storage controller managing two 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suitable For And Limitations

This configuration suits buyers who need a dense, two-socket blade with high core count and a large memory footprint already installed. It does not suit buyers who need more than two internal 2.5-inch drive bays, who require a different storage interface than SAS, or who want a rackmount or tower form factor instead of a blade.

Deciding Specification

The installed memory capacity of 384 GB DDR4 is the single specification that decides fit. The system supports a maximum of 1 TB, so workloads that must exceed the current 384 GB will need additional modules, while lighter workloads may find the existing capacity more than adequate.
