Ultra-High-Core Server with Balanced Storage Architecture
The Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rackmount server is built for compute-heavy and storage-rich environments, equipped with 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs, delivering 40 cores and 80 threads of enterprise-class processing at 2.10GHz. Backed by a substantial 256GB of DDR4 RAM, it ensures rapid data access and seamless multitasking across dense workloads. Storage is handled by 8 x Dell 8TB 7.2K SAS 12Gbps drives, totalling 64TB of high-capacity, enterprise-grade storage, ideal for applications with large datasets or high-throughput requirements. The addition of a Dell BOSS card with 2 x 240GB M.2 SATA SSDs offloads operating systems and hypervisors to dedicated flash storage, reducing bottlenecks and improving boot times. The PERC H730P RAID controller with 8GB cache ensures write-optimised performance with full RAID support.
Designed for Virtualisation, Archiving, and High-Density Compute
This configuration is optimised for virtualised environments, machine learning inference, large database hosting, or video storage and post-production workflows. With 40 cores, it can host dozens of concurrent VMs or containers, while the 64TB of hot-swappable storage provides room for structured and unstructured data alike. The 12-bay LFF chassis offers scalability for nearline storage, tiered backups, and data archiving, while iDRAC9 Enterprise ensures full out-of-band management. Whether deployed in a primary datacentre or satellite edge environment, the R540’s balance of compute, memory, and storage makes it a trusted choice for growing infrastructure demands.
Refurbished for Enterprise, Backed by Bytestock
This server is manufacturer-refurbished and has been professionally tested by Bytestock’s in-house team to ensure enterprise-grade reliability. It includes a 1-year return-to-base warranty, expert support, and fast global shipping. With proven performance and scalability, this R540 is ideal for businesses looking to extend infrastructure without compromising on capability.
