2U Rack Server with Dual 14-Core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory supports dense virtualisation and in-memory databases. Buyers who require installed solid-state drives or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other chassis options.

PERC H730 RAID Controller with Eight 2.5-Inch Bays

The integrated Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays are included without drives, letting you populate the storage tier with the capacity and performance profile your workload demands.
