Built for Demanding Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, and high-performance computing nodes. It delivers dense compute and storage capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Dual 14-Core Processors with High Memory Capacity

Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors provide 28 total cores at a 2.40 GHz base frequency with a 3.3 GHz turbo boost. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5TB maximum capacity for memory-intensive applications.

Sustained Performance

Dual 750 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies and redundant hot-swap design maintain continuous operation under heavy load. The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache manages eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives in RAID configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Quad-port networking with two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections supports consistent data throughput. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and management without physical access.
