Server components

  • The Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server delivers the ideal balance of density and scalability, providing a scalable computing and storage platform with an ideal mix of performance, cost, and density for most data center and database applications.

    The Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server is a two-socket, 1U server platform designed for dense scale-out data center computing and storage. Users can benefit from the flexibility of 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives, the performance of NVMe, and embedded intelligence to ensure optimized application performance in a secure platform. With embedded diagnostics and SupportAssist, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server delivers maximum uptime in a worry-free environment.

    The Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server is built on a scalable system architecture and provides the choice and flexibility to easily meet performance demands and support the multiple configurations needed to optimize for the multiple Apache Cassandra database use cases defined in this project. The Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server allows you to:

    • Simplify deployment and easily scale from 3 to 1000+ nodes
    • Maximize performance with up to 10 NVMe drives and 24 DIMMs, 12 of which can be DCPMMs or NVDIMMs
    • Scale compute resources with 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, and tailor performance based on your unique workload requirements.

    While the validation and performance testing for this project was performed on the Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 server, since the time of this study, the Dell EMC PowerEdge 650 server has been released. The Dell EMC PowerEdge R650 server is an enterprise server powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors designed to optimize workload performance and data center density. It is fully compatible with this application of DataStax Enterprise and delivers even higher performance than is documented in this white paper.
