DELL PowerEdge R730 2U server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with twelve cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1GbE/10GbE SFP+ network card complete the configuration for midsize and large enterprise workloads.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes needing

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce databases or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from twenty-four total cores and a large DDR4 footprint. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with SATA SSDs, so buyers who need more than eight drives or who require a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

1.5 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The platform supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory across twenty-four DIMM slots, with 512 GB already installed. This ceiling determines whether the system can grow with future memory-intensive workloads or if a higher-capacity platform is required.
