DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server 2× E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 2× 600GB SAS H730

DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The DELL PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes two 600 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suited for dense storage

This configuration suits organisations that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA bays and hardware RAID in a compact 2U form factor. The installed 16 GB of DDR4 and 384 GB maximum capacity limit guests who plan large in-memory databases or heavy virtualisation consolidation. Buyers requiring more than five PCIe slots or 10 GbE networking onboard should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon ten-core CPUs with 40 virtual threads

The two E5-2650 v3 processors deliver 20 physical cores and 40 virtual threads via hyperthreading, providing the compute throughput that defines this server's capacity for multi-threaded applications. Memory speed operates up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability, and the H730 controller adds 1 GB cache with 12 Gbps SAS connectivity for the installed 600 GB drives.
