Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU delivers 14 cores, giving 28 threads for parallel workloads. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 1 GB cache controller with battery-backed write cache.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtualised infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing jobs that benefit from high core counts and redundant power. The eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives provide fast local storage under RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than 1.5 TB of memory capacity should look at a different platform.

1.5 TB maximum memory ceiling

The Intel C610 chipset supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 64 GB can be expanded significantly. This ceiling is the single figure that determines whether the chassis can grow with your workload. If your application roadmap demands more than 1.5 TB, this server will not meet that requirement.
