The PowerEdge R740 servers represent a great middle ground of performance and storage in a 2U box. The server can be configured with up to 2 Intel Scalable CPUs and 24 DDR4 DIMMs (or 12 NVDIMMs), but where they really shine is in the way they approach storage. While the R740 offers up to 16 storage bays, the xd offers up to 32 2.5" bays, 24 of which can be NVMe. The R740xd also offers some unique storage layouts versus the typical front-loading bays, including mid- and rear-loading bays to fit all the ex
With every refresh of any server line, there are new CPUs, more RAM, and better storage and networking options. What sets many companies apart, though, is the full lifecycle management of the product. Within reason, any server with the same hardware specs will score roughly the same. The difference, though, quickly becomes apparent with the quality of the hardware, the breadth of support software, and how easy the system is to rapidly deploy in a given environment. This is a key area in which Dell EMC sets itself apart from others in the marketplace. Dell EMC gives users key tools such as LifeCycle Controller, iDRAC, OpenManage Mobile and others.
