    Description

    The <a id="Dell EMC PowerEdge R840"></a><a href="#Dell EMC PowerEdge R840">Dell EMC PowerEdge R840</a> delivers four-socket performance in a dense 2U design, supporting up to four Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with up to 28 cores each (112 cores total) for unparalleled compute density Dell. It accelerates data-intensive applications—OLTP, OLAP, CRM, ERP—by combining massive memory (48 DDR4 DIMM slots @ 2933 MT/s, up to 6 TB, plus up to 24 TB Optane™ PMem) with high-bandwidth NVMe storage (#DDR4 2933, #24 NVMe bays).

    Storage scalability is unmatched: front bays accommodate up to 24 NVMe PCIe SSDs (max 153 TB) or mixed NVMe/SAS/SATA arrays, while rear bays add up to two additional drives. Dual PERC H730P or H740P controllers double I/O throughput, eliminating bottlenecks for real-time analytics and AI workloads (#PCIe 3.0) .

    Dell EMC OpenManage and iDRAC9 further simplify management through agent-free automation—remote discovery, firmware updates, health monitoring—freeing IT teams to focus on innovation (#OpenManage, #iDRAC9) .
