DELL PowerEdge R640 8B SFF 48-Core rack server 2x Xeon 8268 2.9GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P 8x 1TB SATA SSD

Dell PowerEdge R640 48-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.90GHz for dependable multi-threaded performance. 256GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple services and data-heavy applications.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This configuration suits teams running hypervisors, container platforms or database clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU support make it unsuitable for workloads requiring GPU acceleration, 3D rendering or AI model training. Buyers needing PCIe add-in cards for specialised accelerators should verify slot availability before purchase.

8 TB SATA SSD array with H730P controller

Eight new 1TB SATA SSDs provide 8TB of solid-state capacity for operating systems, virtual machines, applications and backups. The H730P storage controller simplifies array setup and daily management. The 2.5-inch bay layout limits raw drive count to eight, so capacity scales by replacing drives rather than adding more. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB for future headroom.
