The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an H730P storage controller, rack rails and a front bezel.

Virtualization and database teams

This configuration suits teams that need a ready-to-rack platform for virtual machines, file storage or backup workloads. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, high-frequency single-thread performance or a larger drive count should evaluate other form factors.

Dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs

The server contains two Xeon Gold 6154 processors, each with 18 cores for a total of 36 cores at 3.0 GHz. This core count determines how many concurrent threads the system can handle for virtualization or database tasks.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 128 GB DDR4 and supports up to 3 TB, so you can start now and expand when workloads grow.

What does the 36-core total mean for actual performance?

Two Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs provide 36 cores at 3.0 GHz, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization and databases.

How does the H730P controller limit the eight 2.5-inch drive bays?

The H730P manages all eight bays with hardware RAID, so drive count and RAID level determine usable capacity and speed.
