Dell EMC PowerEdge R940

Maximize application performance and eliminate I/O bottlenecks

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:

1. In-memory and large, complex databases
2. Unix to Linux migration
3. ERP, CRM
4. Dense virtualization

Transform IT with Dell EMC PowerEdge

The 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.

1. Maximize storage performance with up to 12 NVMe drives and ensure application performance scales easily.
2. Scale compute resources with 2nd Generation Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable processors and tailor performance based on your unique workload requirements.
3. Drive data-intensive workloads like SQL and SAP HANA databases with Intel Optane DC persistent memory.
4. Expand with up to 13 PCIe Gen 3 slots.

Automate productivity with intelligent, embedded management

Dell EMC automation and intelligent management mean you spend less time on routine maintenance so you can focus on bigger priorities.

1. Help maximize uptime and reduce the IT effort to resolve issues by up to 72% with ProSupport Plus and SupportAssist.
2. Leverage existing management consoles with easy integrations for VMware® vSphere®, Microsoft® System Center and Nagios®.
3. Improve productivity with agent-free Dell iDRAC9 for automated, efficient management.
4. Simplify deployment with OpenManage next-generation console and server profiles to fully configure and prep servers in rapid, scalable fashion.

Fortify your data center with comprehensive protection

Dell EMC provides a comprehensive, cyber-resilient architecture with security embedded into every server to protect your data.

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