The new Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 solution powered by 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors occupied the same amount of rack space (3U) as each of the other solutions. Consider this: if you have seven 3U PowerEdge R620 vSAN clusters each handling 108K operations per minute, you could replace them with a single 3U PowerEdge R640 vSAN cluster. Doing more work in the same amount of rack space means you can fight data center sprawl by simply replacing older and legacy PowerEdge R620 and R630 servers with new PowerEdge R640 servers.
