Maximise application performance and density
The PowerEdge R940xa drives GPU database acceleration to deliver real-time decisions for compute-intensive applications. By combining four CPUs with four GPUs, the R940xa delivers consistent high performance for demanding applications. The R940xa allows you to dynamically scale capacity and performance as your business-critical workloads evolve including:
- Maximising performance with Intel Xeon Scalable processors, up to 112 cores.
- Choosing up to 4 double-wide GPUs or up to 8 FPGAs for application acceleration.
- Supporting large data sets with up to 48 DIMMs (12 of which can be NVDIMMs) and up to 6TB of memory.
- Scaling on-premise capacity with up to 32 x 2.5" HDDs/SSDs and up to 4 direct-attached NVMe drives.
- Expanding quickly with up to 12 PCIe slots for external device connections.
Automate maintenance with Dell EMC OpenManage
The Dell EMC OpenManage portfolio helps simplify IT operations across your data centre, delivering intelligent, automated management of routine tasks. Combined with unique agent-free management capabilities, the R940xa is simply managed, freeing up time for high profile projects.
- Utilise a variety of OpenManage integrations and connections to take advantage of your existing IT management platform.
- Take advantage of QuickSync 2 capabilities and gain access to your servers easily through your phone or tablet.
Guard your data centre with built in security
Every PowerEdge server is made with a cyber resilient architecture, delivering security into all parts of a server's life cycle. The R940xa uses these new security features so you can reliably and securely deliver the right data to where your customers are, no matter where they are. Dell EMC considers each part of system security, from design to end of life, to ensure trust and deliver worry-free systems. Rely on a secure component supply chain to ensure protection from factory to the data centre.
- Maintain data safety with cryptographically signed firmware packages and Secure Boot.
- Prevent unauthorised 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.
