Dual-socket Xeon server for dense virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 fits two E5-2650 v3 processors, each with 10 cores at 2.3 GHz, giving 40 threads in a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 900 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. The platform targets organisations that need high core density and redundant power for virtualisation hosts or database nodes.

Hot-plug bays and redundant supplies simplify uptime

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running during a module failure. A DVD-ROM drive and iDRAC8 remote management card are included, and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide expansion room for networking or storage cards.

Maximum installed memory capped at 32 GB

Although the chipset supports up to 1536 GB, this unit is configured with 32 GB and the memory slots are populated to that limit. Buyers who need more RAM must replace modules rather than add to the existing configuration.
