Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 800 GB SATA SSDs provide the initial storage volume.

Suits workloads needing dual-socket density

This platform fits midsize and large enterprise tasks such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment. Buyers who need more than two processors or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB DDR4

The server populates eight of 24 available DDR4 slots, leaving headroom to reach the 1.5 TB maximum capacity. Memory runs at 2400 MHz registered ECC. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset limit the system to two Xeon processors, so the installed dual-socket configuration is already at the ceiling.
