High-frequency compute paired with dependable SAS storage
The Dell PowerEdge R740XD2 2U rackmount server is designed for environments that demand both strong processing speed and high-capacity storage. Powered by 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6226R CPUs—each with 16 cores at a turbo-ready 2.90GHz—this build delivers 32 physical cores with impressive per-core performance for latency-sensitive workloads. It comes with 256GB of DDR4 memory and 8 x 12TB 7.2K 12Gbps SAS drives, providing 96TB of enterprise-grade storage. OS duties are managed by a Dell BOSS controller with dual 240GB M.2 SSDs, while the PERC H730P RAID controller offers storage flexibility and resilience. Additional features include iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management, dual 1100W platinum-rated power supplies, dual 1GbE networking, and rack rails included.
Ideal for mixed-workload virtualisation, archive storage, and application hosting
This server is a solid choice for organisations looking to support multiple workloads simultaneously—whether that’s a mix of VMs, business-critical apps, or large-volume file storage. The high base clock of the 6226R CPUs makes it particularly effective in environments where performance per core matters, such as licensing-limited virtualisation or real-time data processing. With 96TB of SAS storage, it’s equally at home running as an archive server, backup target, or high-availability file system. Whether you're consolidating infrastructure or scaling out services, this build gives you speed, capacity, and enterprise reliability in one flexible platform.
