The Dell PowerEdge FC640 is a modular, high-performance server node designed for use within the FX2/FX2s chassis. Optimised for dense computing environments, this half-width node delivers exceptional scalability and processing power, making it the perfect solution for virtualisation, private clouds, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

Built for demanding workloads, the FC640 combines cutting-edge Intel Xeon Scalable processors, scalable memory configurations, and flexible storage options to meet evolving business needs.

Advanced Processing and Memory Performance

The Dell PowerEdge FC640 is powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors, supporting both Gen1 and Gen2 CPUs with up to 28 cores per processor. With dual CPU configurations, the FC640 delivers robust multi-threaded performance, ideal for virtualisation, database management, and computational tasks. It supports up to 2TB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMM slots, with speeds up to 2666MT/s, ensuring high-speed data access and efficient multitasking for memory-intensive applications.

Customisable Storage and Expansion Options

The FC640 offers versatile storage capabilities, supporting up to 2x 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives. It is compatible with SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, allowing businesses to tailor configurations for either high-capacity or performance-critical environments. Internal storage controllers, including Software RAID S140, PERC H330, H730P, and HBA330, provide flexible RAID and data protection options to meet diverse operational needs.

Seamless Integration with FX2/FX2s Chassis

Designed to work seamlessly within the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis, the FC640 leverages shared cooling, power, and networking infrastructure to maximise operational efficiency. Its half-width form factor allows up to four FC640 nodes within a single 2U FX2/FX2s chassis, making it a highly space-efficient solution for modern data centres. This integration also reduces complexity, providing businesses with a streamlined approach to expanding their IT environments.

Energy-Efficient and Reliable Management

The FC640 features Dell’s integrated iDRAC9 remote management platform, ensuring seamless monitoring and maintenance from anywhere. Fully compatible with virtualisation platforms such as VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer, the FC640 excels in managing virtualised workloads with precision. Its energy-efficient design reduces operational costs while maintaining reliable and consistent performance in mission-critical environments.
