Dell PowerEdge R740 rack mountable server is engineered to enhance application performance by utilising accelerator cards and scalable storage options. This 2-socket, 2U rack server offers an optimal balance of resources to meet the demands of even the most challenging environments.The Dell PowerEdge R740 features a scalable architecture that supports up to three 300W or six 150W GPUs, along with up to three double-width or four single-width FPGAs. With up to 16 2.5-inch drives or 8 3.5-inch drives, it delivers the flexibility to handle virtually any application, making it ideal for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments. This model can scale VDI deployments with three double-width GPUs, allowing up to 50-percent more users compared to the previous R730 model. Additionally, the server frees up storage space through internal M.2 SSDs optimised for boot and allows compute resources to be customised using 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, providing tailored performance for various workload requirements.The Dell EMC OpenManage portfolio simplifies server management, offering intelligent automation for routine tasks. The R740 is designed for ease of use with agent-free management tools, freeing up IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives. The OpenManage Enterprise console further streamlines management with custom reporting and automatic server discovery, while QuickSync 2 capabilities enable easy server access via phone or tablet. Security is a critical feature of the Dell PowerEdge R740, designed with cyber resilience to protect data and operations throughout the server's lifecycle. Dell EMC's cyber-resilient architecture integrates security features from production through retirement, ensuring a secure environment without compromising performance. The secure component supply chain protects servers from factory to data centre.
