Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and redundant hot-swap power for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing tasks. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Organisations that require solid-state storage or more than 24 memory slots should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed PERC H730 1 GB controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available. It manages the eight 300 GB SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and also supports SATA devices in pass-through mode. Buyers must confirm that the controller’s RAID feature set matches their storage redundancy and performance requirements before deployment.
