DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v3 2.3GHz 18-Core 256GB DDR4 H730 2x 400GB SSD

Dual Xeon 18-Core Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount system built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors deliver 18 cores each at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, providing dense multi-threaded performance for heavily virtualised environments.

1.5 TB DDR4 Memory Ceiling

The platform supports up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, with 256 GB installed as eight 32 GB modules at 2133 MHz. Buyers who need more memory capacity than the 1.5 TB limit should consider alternative architectures, as this generation cannot scale beyond that figure.

PERC H730 RAID & 10 GbE Networking

A Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and up to six additional 2.5-inch drives. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails complete the package.
