Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-Core 256GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD

Dual 14-Core Xeon 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, a PERC H730 storage controller, and two 800 GB SATA SSDs. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running virtualisation, databases, VDI or high-performance computing workloads that demand dense, balanced compute and memory capacity.

Upgrade From Single-Socket Or Older Xeon

Moving from a single-socket server or an earlier Xeon generation doubles the core count to 28 total cores and expands the memory ceiling to 1.5 TB, removing bottlenecks in heavily threaded applications and large in-memory datasets. The jump is worth it when current hardware saturates CPU queues, exhausts DIMM slots, or cannot sustain the I/O throughput needed for virtual desktop farms or data-warehouse nodes.

Fits Standard 2U Racks With Redundant Power

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and includes sliding rails and a front bezel for immediate mounting. Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy without extra cabling. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables out-of-band management over the existing network fabric.
