Dual 16-core Xeon server for enterprise workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch storage with hardware RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs connected to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management while ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack installation.

Redundant platinum power supplies for continuous

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies deliver redundancy without shutdown during maintenance. The 2U form factor fits standard racks while the hot-swap design allows component replacement under load. System thermals are managed within the rackmount enclosure to sustain the dual-processor configuration during sustained enterprise workloads.
