Maximise application performance and density
The scalable business architecture of the R640 is designed to maximise application performance and provide the flexibility to optimise configurations 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 configuration to maximise application performance with the optimum configuration in only a 1U chassis.
- Simplify deployments and speed deployments with Dell EMC ready nodes for ScaleIO and VSAN.
- Maximise storage performance with up to 8 NVMe drives or 12 2.5" drives.
- Scale compute resources with Intel Xeon Scalable 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 efficiency 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 profile projects.
- Simplify management with New OpenManage Enterprise console, with customised 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 life cycle. 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 centre
- QuickSync 2 for secure, wireless management in the data centre.
- Maintain data safety with cryptographically signed firmware packages and SecureBoot.
- 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.
