Dell PowerEdge R540 2 x 12 Core 2.10GHz Silver 4116 128GB 8 x 8TB 7.2K SATA H730P

High-Capacity Dual-Socket Server for Scalable Storage Workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rack server is built for storage-intensive environments, offering exceptional balance between compute power, drive density, and efficiency. This system features dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each with 12 cores and 24 threads running at 2.10GHz, delivering solid multi-threaded performance across a wide range of applications. With 128GB of DDR4 memory preinstalled and a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller (8GB cache), the server ensures strong throughput, redundancy, and smooth disk operations. Storage is configured with 8 x 8TB 7.2K SATA drives (6Gbps), making it ideal for mass data retention, while OS duties are handled by a Dell BOSS card fitted with 2 x 240GB M.2 SSDs.

Designed for Backup, Archival, and Distributed File Systems
With 64TB of raw capacity out of the box and room for future expansion, this R540 is ideal for backup infrastructure, long-term data archiving, surveillance storage, or as a file server for unstructured data. The 128GB RAM supports moderate virtualisation loads, multi-tenant storage environments, or parallel analytics. It’s a strong candidate for businesses building a secondary storage node, deploying a Ceph cluster, or setting up low-cost cloud storage environments. The 1100W redundant power supplies and enterprise-grade iDRAC 9 remote management make it reliable for 24/7 workloads in edge locations or primary data centres.
