Features

Dell PowerEdge R940 - Features

Maximize application performance and eliminate I/O bottlenecks

Empower your organization to make the best decisions fast using real-time data and analytics. The PowerEdge R940 supports 50% more NVMe drives than the R930, up to 48 DIMMs (24 of which can be Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory DCPMMs) and up to 15.36TB of memory. Make I/O bottlenecks a thing of the past and keep processor utilization at its peak. Ideal workloads:
• In-memory and large, complex databases
• Unix to Linux migration
• Dense virtualization

Transform IT with Dell EMC PowerEdge

Increase compute performance and the ability to run multiple applications at the same time, by choosing either a 4- or a 6-core Intel Xeon E-2100 processor. Harness data growth with up to four 3.5″ hot plug or cabled HDDs. Address data sets with up to four DDR4 DIMMs and with a maximum of 64GB of RAMThe R940 is the foundation to transform your data center with modern applications for real-time data and analytics. Its massive resource footprint optimizes application performance and scales to meet your organization’s demands.

Automate productivity with intelligent, embedded management

Dell automation and intelligent management mean you spend less time on routine maintenance so you can focus on bigger priorities. Help maximize uptime and reduce the IT effort to resolve issues by up to 72% with Pro Support Plus and Support Assist. Leverage existing management consoles with easy integrations for VMware® vSphere®, Microsoft® System Center and Nagios®. Improve productivity with agent-free Dell iDRAC9 for automated, efficient management. Simplify deployment with Open Manage next-generation console and server profiles to fully configure and prep servers in rapid, scalable fashion.

Fortify your data center with comprehensive protection

Dell provides a comprehensive, cyber-resilient architecture with security embedded into every server to protect your data. Protect server configuration and firmware from malicious changes with new Configuration Lock-down. Use system erase of local storage to help ensure data privacy when you repurpose or retire servers. Automate updates that check file dependencies and proper update sequence, before deploying them independently from the OS/hypervisor. Take control of your firmware consoles with embedded authentication that is designed to allow only properly designed updates to run.
