Dell PowerEdge R940xa

The Dell PowerEdge R940xa is the latest 4-socket, 3U monolithic rack server designed to run complex workloads using highly scalable memory, I/O, and network options. The PowerEdge R940xa adds large storage capacity for high performance and GPU database acceleration, making it well suited for compute-intensive applications that require greater storage, while not sacrificing I/O performance.

  • 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors
  • Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) support
  • High Reliability mode/profile support.
  • 12 PCIe slots for expansion and a choice of embedded NIC technologies
  • Software RAID support for SATA and NVMe
  • Ideal for compute-intensive applications that require greater storage, while not sacrificing I/O performance. Support for 4 doublewidth GPUs (in a 1: CPU to GPU ratio), or up to 4 double-width FPGAs, or up to 8 single-width FPGAs to accelerate business-critical workloads like AI and machine learning.
