Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 6-core processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730 controller.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration suits virtual desktop infrastructure, database serving and high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from dual-socket throughput and redundant 750 W power supplies. Quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports supports demanding east-west traffic. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies above 3.2 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 storage controller provides 1 GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages the eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs through a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface. This controller choice determines the RAID levels and cache protection available for the 3.2 TB of installed flash storage.
