56-Core Compute Power with High-Speed, Scalable SAS Storage
This Dell PowerEdge R740 combines exceptional CPU density with scalable enterprise storage in a 2U rackmount chassis built for serious workloads. Featuring 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6238R processors (56 cores total at 2.20GHz) and 256GB of DDR4 memory, this server is engineered to deliver outstanding multi-threaded performance across a range of modern business-critical applications. Storage is configured with 8 x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives at 12Gbps—offering a total of 19.2TB of high-throughput rotational storage, ideal for structured data, file services, or application volumes. The Dell H740P RAID controller (8GB cache) ensures fast, resilient data access, while quad-port networking (2 x 10GbE + 2 x 1GbE), dual 1100W PSUs, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide the flexibility and reliability expected in enterprise environments.
Perfect for Dense Virtualisation, High-Concurrency Hosting, and Enterprise Storage Pools

The 10K SAS storage is fast enough for mid-tier databases, active directory services, and high-throughput file applications, making it a solid backbone for backend services or large-scale departmental data sharing. The 16-bay chassis allows further expansion—so you can scale out your storage pool or introduce SSD tiers as workloads evolve. Whether you’re consolidating legacy systems or building a resilient, scalable platform, the R740 offers serious horsepower with future-ready flexibility.
