Built for hybrid hosting environments, the Dell PowerEdge R440 with 10 SFF drive bays is optimised for workloads that require high capacity storage with SSD boot separation. Equipped with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 10-core processors and 64GB DDR4 ECC memory, this unit balances cost and performance. It comes with 2 x 120GB SSDs for the operating system and 4 x 2TB SATA HDDs for bulk storage, making it ideal for virtualisation, container-based environments, or web hosting platforms with high I/O demand.
This model supports scalable I/O with PERC H740 RAID, dual hot-plug PSUs, and full remote management via iDRAC9. It's a compelling solution for SMEs, MSPs, or IT resellers looking to deploy mixed-purpose systems.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual Intel Xeon Silver CPUs with 20 total threads allow smooth multitasking and multi-VM deployments, ideal for web servers or shared infrastructure nodes.
64GB DDR4 ECC RAM provides enough memory for 10 to 15 VMs under typical web, database, or DNS hosting loads.
10 x 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays allow separation of OS (SSD) and data (HDD), which improves read/write performance and failure isolation.
PERC H740 RAID offers redundancy (e.g., RAID 5 or 10) to prevent downtime from disk failures.
Dual 1GbE networking provides sufficient bandwidth for moderate traffic environments, and can be bonded or VLAN-segmented.
Remote management with iDRAC9 helps IT staff monitor, restart, or diagnose servers without being on-site.
Ideal Uses
Web server or multi-tenant hosting environment for platforms like cPanel, DirectAdmin, or Plesk where user accounts need isolated storage.
VMware or Hyper-V host running 8 to 10 virtual machines for internal use or light public cloud environments.
Docker or Kubernetes node in a hybrid cloud with a mix of SSD containers and HDD persistent storage volumes.
Off-site backup or staging server for client file retention, DNS services, or analytics batching.
