Enterprise Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors deliver 14 cores each at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo capability. A total of 128 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies eight of 24 available slots. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters and high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from dual-socket compute density and hardware RAID redundancy. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than two processors or require storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual-Socket 14-Core Compute

The decisive specification is the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core layout delivering 28 total cores in a 2U chassis. This core count determines whether the server can meet the threading demands of heavily virtualised or multi-threaded enterprise applications. The LGA 2011-3 platform and C610 chipset define the upgrade ceiling for processor and memory expansion.
