Dual Xeon 2U server with 768 GB DDR4

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 750 W power supplies are installed.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes

The system supports up to two processors and a maximum of 1.5 TB of memory, making it appropriate for virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing nodes. Buyers who need more than 24 memory slots, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage controller should consider other configurations.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The included Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its battery-backed write cache protects data during power loss. This specification determines whether the server meets your storage redundancy and performance requirements.
