Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with battery backup. Eight 2.4 TB SAS hard drives provide high-capacity storage in 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 28 total cores and large memory capacity. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support fast network connectivity. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or GPU expansion slots should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory installed in 16 of 24 available slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5 TB, allowing significant headroom for memory-intensive applications. This specification determines whether the server meets immediate workload requirements.
