Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 8 Bay 1U Rackmount Server (Refurbished)

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 is a 1U, dual-socket rack server that packs a serious amount of capability into a tight chassis. This is a professionally refurbished unit pulled from real data center environments, fully tested, and ready to configure to your exact needs. With two CPU sockets and support for the full range of Intel Xeon Scalable processors (1st and 2nd Gen), the R640 gives mid-size shops and enterprise teams alike a genuinely versatile platform without the new-hardware price tag.

The short version on compute and storage: you can run up to 28 cores per socket — so up to 56 cores total in a dual-processor config — paired with up to 3TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. On the storage side, this 8-bay SFF configuration keeps things compact and fast, with support for 2.5" SAS and SATA drives (HDD or SSD) and your choice of Dell PERC RAID controllers ranging from the H330 all the way up to the H740p with 8GB of battery-backed cache. If you need a boot device off the storage backplane, the optional BOSS card handles that cleanly with M.2 SSDs.

This is a workhorse platform that thrives in environments like:

• Virtualization hosts running VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM — the memory capacity and dual-socket layout give hypervisors a lot to work with
• Database workloads where you need fast storage, plenty of RAM, and a platform you can actually count on
• Private cloud and software-defined storage deployments, including Dell EMC VxFlex Ready Node configurations
• High-performance computing clusters where 1U density matters and you're stacking multiple nodes in the same rack
• Web hosting and application serving environments where you want reliable throughput without burning through your hardware budget
• Edge deployments that need enterprise reliability in a compact, power-efficient footprint

On the management and redundancy side, here's what to know: the R640 ships with iDRAC9 (with Lifecycle Controller) for remote management — that's Dell's out-of-band interface that lets you manage the server even when the OS is down, which is exactly what you want at 2am. The system supports two hot-swap redundant power supplies in 750W Platinum or Titanium and 1100W configurations. For security, the optional TPM 2.0 module is available, and Quick Sync 2 lets you manage the server right from the bezel using a mobile device.

Every R640 we sell goes through our full refurbishment process — tested for functionality, rebuilt to spec, and configured to your order before it ships. You're getting a name-brand Dell server with genuine enterprise reliability at a fraction of what a comparable new system would cost. That's a real advantage, not a workaround.
