High-frequency compute with fast and reliable storage
The Dell PowerEdge R740XD2 2U rackmount server delivers a strong combination of high clock speed, efficient core density, and dependable SAS storage. Powered by 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6226R CPUs—each offering 16 cores at 2.90GHz—it provides 32 physical cores with excellent per-core performance for workloads that benefit from raw processing speed. It’s fitted with 128GB DDR4 memory and 8 x 4TB 7.2K 12Gbps SAS drives, totalling 32TB of raw capacity with enterprise-class speed and durability. OS management is handled by a Dell BOSS controller with dual 240GB M.2 SSDs, while the PERC H730P RAID controller provides flexibility and protection. iDRAC9 Enterprise, 1GbE networking, dual 1100W PSUs, and rack rails come included.
Ideal for fast-response virtual machines, backups, and SMB infrastructure
This build is well suited to businesses seeking a cost-effective solution that still delivers speed where it matters. The high base clock of the 6226R processors is ideal for VM workloads that rely on low-latency performance, such as licensing-constrained virtualisation, transactional databases, or application servers. The 32TB of SAS storage provides ample room for backups, media storage, or document retention with faster access and improved reliability compared to SATA. Whether you're running small-scale virtualisation, hosting business-critical apps, or building a centralised file server, this server delivers strong all-round capability.
