Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. It is built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads in midsize and large enterprise environments.

Suits virtualised workloads needing dense memory

The configuration supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory, making it suitable for memory-intensive virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse applications. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management provide operational resilience. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, greater than 1.5 TB of RAM, or a different storage controller feature set should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller handles SAS and SATA drives with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays are included without installed drives. A quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Ready rails and a front bezel are supplied for rack installation.
