Built with the latest 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, the R640 can tackle the most demanding workloads while optimizing configurations for specific use cases, whether for data-intensive applications, virtualized environments, or scale-out data centers.

Features

• Scalable Computing Resources:
  The server is powered by 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, supporting up to 28 cores per processor. This flexibility enables organizations to scale their computing power based on workload requirements, whether they are running databases, virtualization platforms, or high-performance computing applications.

• Simplified Deployments:
  With Dell EMC Ready Nodes for VMware vSAN, the R640 simplifies deployments and accelerates time-to-value. It is designed for seamless integration into virtualized environments, optimizing storage performance and compute resources with minimal configuration.

• Automated Maintenance with OpenManage:
  The Dell EMC OpenManage™ portfolio allows for intelligent, automated management of routine tasks. Agent-free management capabilities ensure that the server is easy to manage, freeing up time for more strategic IT initiatives. Features such as QuickSync 2 enable easy server access from your mobile devices, improving administrative efficiency.

• Security Features for Data Protection:
  Security is integrated throughout the entire lifecycle of the R640, from supply chain to data center operations. The system includes cryptographically signed firmware and Secure Boot to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.

Security

• Component Supply Chain Security:
  The R640 relies on a secure component supply chain, ensuring protection from factory to data center, minimizing the risk of supply chain vulnerabilities.

• Cryptographic Protection:
  The system employs cryptographically signed firmware for enhanced security, ensuring that firmware updates are validated to prevent the introduction of malicious code. Additionally, the Secure Boot feature ensures that only trusted software can run during the boot process.

• iDRAC9 Server Lockdown:
  With iDRAC9 Server Lockdown mode (available with the Enterprise or Datacenter license), the R640 can protect the server from unauthorized access by disabling remote management features when not in use.

• TPM Support:
  The Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2/2.0) ensures secure storage of keys, passwords, and certificates. It also supports features like Secure Erase, enabling the secure removal of all data from storage devices when the system is retired.

• System Lockdown and Secure Erase:
  The System Lockdown feature prevents unauthorized changes to the server’s configuration, while Secure Erase quickly wipes data from storage devices, including SSDs and memory, ensuring that sensitive data is securely removed.
