Dual 14-core Xeon server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz. Each CPU provides 14 cores for a total of 28 threads. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots, leaving eight DIMM slots free for expansion up to 1.5 TB. A Dell PERC H730 controller manages eight 400 GB SATA SSDs installed in the front 2.5-inch bays.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports support clustered or storage-heavy deployments. Buyers who need more than two sockets or who require drive interfaces other than SATA or SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs on H730 RAID

The storage subsystem consists of eight 400 GB enterprise SATA SSDs connected to the PERC H730 1 GB cache controller. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This drive count and controller combination determines the usable capacity and redundancy available for the workload.
