DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2683 v3 2.0GHz 14-core 64GB DDR4 8× 800GB SSD

Enterprise compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 total cores at 2.0GHz with 3.0GHz turbo capability. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16GB modules provides error-corrected capacity for virtualisation and database tasks.

Thermal headroom and power

Dual 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in redundant hot-swap configuration to maintain uptime during module replacement. The 2U chassis houses eight 2.5-inch drive bays and full-length expansion slots within a airflow path designed for sustained compute loads. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote thermal monitoring and power management without requiring physical access to the rack.

Rack integration and expansion

Ready Rails and front bezel are included for immediate 2U rack installation. The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight installed 800GB SATA SSDs and additional SAS or SATA drives. Quad-port networking provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections via the X520/I350 daughter card. Twenty-four DDR4 slots allow memory growth to 1.5TB when workloads demand it.
