The Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 is one of the 14th generation lines of Dell Inc. servers. It is designed to enable 4x more VMs per server and reduce the total ownership cost by up to 70%. The dell r640 specs make it particularly versatile and well suited for different users. This is primarily because of its 1U form factor. It also supports Intel Xeon scalable processors, which allow for a 27% increase in processing core. Likewise, the optional NVMe and NVDIMMs hard drives allow for optimized application performance by reducing latency.
In terms of processor memory, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 allows for flexible configuration, supporting up to 24 RDIMM or LRDIMM. It supports up to 1.5TB, making it perfect for in-memory processes like Hadoop. Additionally, the server can support up to 12 NVDIMM to ensure optimized application performance, maximize storage performance, and create a worry free environment. However, two processors and 12 RDIMM (16GB, 32GB, or 64GB) must be added to augment the NVDIMM. You should bear in mind that the 8GB RDIMM is not compatible with NVDIMM.
The PowerEdge R640 server has a system-erase technology that keeps data safe while allowing the administrator to clear the data from the server efficiently and quickly.
Conclusively, the R640 Dell server has excellent specifications that make it ideal for most data centers. The Intel Xeon scalable processors, NVDIMM, and NVMe drives have impressive specifications that maximize application performance. This makes the PowerEdge R640 server robust to handle even the most demanding computing processes.
