DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v3 2.0GHz 14-core 64GB DDR4

DELL PowerEdge R730 2U server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehouses, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It ships new with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Dual 14-core Xeon for multi-threaded scale

This server suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database hosting or compute clusters. The 24 DIMM slots allow expansion up to 1.5 TB of DDR4, and the eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who require more than two sockets, GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds above 3.0 GHz should evaluate other platforms. The included quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management.

24 DDR4 slots expand to 1.5 TB

The single specification that decides fit is the 24 DDR4 memory slots with a 1.5 TB maximum capacity, which determines whether the server can reach the memory footprint your workloads demand. The LGA 2011-3 socket limits the platform to the installed Xeon E5-2683 v3 generation, and the PERC H730 controller operates over 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA interfaces. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails complete the package for immediate rack deployment.
