Dell PowerEdge R640 Rack Server
High-Density 1U Performance for Modern Data Centers
The
Dell PowerEdge R640 is a compact, ultra-efficient 1U rack server
engineered for high-performance computing, virtualisation, and cloud-scale
deployments. Combining powerful dual-socket compute with flexible storage
and advanced management, it provides the ideal balance of density, speed,
and scalability for next-generation data centre environments.
Powerful Compute Density
Designed for demanding workloads, the PowerEdge R640 supports up to
two Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with up to
28 cores per CPU. With
24 DDR4 DIMM slots and support for up to
3 TB of memory (LRDIMM), which delivers exceptional compute and memory bandwidth,
ideal for HPC clusters, virtual machine density, and heavy parallel workloads.
Flexible, High-Speed Storage Options
The R640 provides highly adaptable storage configurations to match
performance and capacity requirements:
- Up to 10 NVMe drives for maximum throughput and ultra-low latency
- Up to 12 × 2.5" SAS/SATA drives for balanced capacity and performance
- Integrated options for software-defined storage solutions
Advanced Remote Management
With
iDRAC9 and the Dell OpenManage ecosystem, administrators gain comprehensive
tools for deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management. These features
deliver predictable automation, secure remote access, and reduced operational
overhead across large server fleets.
Optimised for the Data Center
The PowerEdge R640 integrates seamlessly with existing rack infrastructure
using
ReadyRails III sliding rails for fast installation and serviceability.
Dual redundant PSUs help ensure business continuity and minimise downtime
for mission-critical workloads.
