DELL EMC
POWEREDGE R640
Uncompromising performance and density
The PowerEdge R640 is the ideal dual-socket, 1U platform for
dense scale-out data center computing. The R640 combines
density, performance and scalability to optimize application
performance and data center density.
Maximize application performance and density
The scalable business architecture of the R640 is designed to maximize application performance and provide the exibility
to optimize congurations based on the application and use case. With the R640 you can create an NVMe cache pool and
use either 2.5” or 3.5” drives for data storage. Combined with up to 24 DIMM’s, 12 of which can be NVDIMM’s, you have
the resources to create the optimum conguration to maximize application performance with the optimum conguration in
only a 1U chassis.
• Simplify deployments and speed deployments with Dell EMC ready nodes for ScaleIO and VSAN.
• Maximize storage performance with up to 8 NVMe drives or 12 2.5” drives.
• Scale compute resources with Intel® Xeon® SP delivering a 27% increase in processing cores and 50% increase in
bandwidth over previous generation Xeon processors.
Automate maintenance with Dell EMC OpenManage
The Dell EMC OpenManage™ portfolio helps deliver peak efciency for PowerEdge servers, delivering intelligent,
automated management of routine tasks. Combined with unique agent-free management capabilities, the R640 is simply
managed, freeing up time for high prole projects.
• Simplify management with the New OpenManage Enterprise™ console, with customized reporting and automatic
discovery.
• Take advantage of QuickSync 2 capabilities and gain access to your servers easily through your phone or tablet.
Guard your data center with built in security
Every PowerEdge server is designed as part of a cyber resilient architecture, integrating security into the full server
lifecyle. The R640 leverages new security features built-into every new PowerEdge server strengthening protection so you
can reliably and securely deliver accurate data to your customers no matter where
they are. By considering each aspect of system security, from design to retirement,
Dell EMC ensures trust and delivers a worry-free, secure infrastructure without
compromise.
• Rely on a secure component supply chain to ensure protection from factory
to the data center Quick Sync 2 for secure, wireless management in the data
center.
PowerEdge R640
• NVMe Direct-attached
drives reduce latency
• Maintain data safety with cryptographically signed rmware packages and
Secure Boot.
• Prevent unauthorized or malicious change with Server Lockdown.
• Wipe all data from storage media including hard drives, SSDs and system
memory quickly and securely with System Erase.
