Built for virtualised workloads

This 2U rack server ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz, each delivering 10 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The board provides 24 DDR4 slots populated with 64 GB of registered ECC memory and can scale to 1.5 TB. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA trays.

Suits consolidation and database nodes

Teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse queries or high-performance computing jobs will find the dual-socket layout and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 GbE SFP+ networking a good fit. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or a newer processor generation should look at a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays decide capacity

The chassis accepts only 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; no drives are included. Plan your array around the eight available bays and the H730 controller’s supported RAID levels.
