Powerful Dual-CPU Platform with High-Capacity SAS Storage
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rackmount server designed to meet the demands of data-heavy infrastructure. Featuring 2 x Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors with 16 cores each (32 cores total) running at 2.10GHz, it’s engineered for parallel processing, database work, and application hosting. This system comes preloaded with 96GB of DDR4 memory and a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller with 8GB cache, ensuring fast disk operations and fault tolerance. With 2 x 12TB 12Gbps SAS hard drives and a Dell BOSS card supporting dual 240GB M.2 SSDs, you get a combination of rapid boot volumes and vast cold storage capacity, all housed in a 12-bay chassis with future expansion in mind.
Ideal for Mid-Tier Virtualisation and Data Archive Environments
This configuration strikes an effective balance between compute strength and storage capacity. It’s well-suited for organisations deploying virtualisation workloads (e.g. Hyper-V or VMware), managing backup repositories, running data analytics jobs, or operating a centralised file server. With 24TB of enterprise SAS storage available out of the box and ample RAM for mid-size VM stacks or container orchestration, this R540 is a versatile option for SMBs, research institutions, or media teams handling large data sets and requiring secure, redundant storage solutions.
