Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 12-core processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes.

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running databases or deploying virtual desktop infrastructure where high core counts and large memory capacity matter. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots determines the immediate workload capacity and leaves room to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum supported by the Intel C610 chipset. Memory type and slot count are fixed by the platform, so verifying application requirements against this specification is the primary step before purchase.
