DELL PowerEdge R730 2U server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Dual Xeon 14-core compute density

This server suits buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing nodes. It is not for buyers who want more storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch SAS drive slots provided. It is not for builders who need a second storage controller beyond the single PERC H730 included.

Rails and bezel simplify rack mounting

The unit includes ready rails and a front bezel so it can be slid into a standard rack without extra hardware. Hot-swap redundant 750 W power supplies allow replacement without downtime. Remote management through iDRAC 8 Enterprise lets administrators monitor and control the server without physical access.
