Dual 18-core Xeon 2U server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller managing two 800 GB SATA SSDs. Quad-port networking and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse workloads, or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The SATA SSD tier and DDR4 platform do not serve buyers who require PCIe-attached flash storage or support for newer memory generations.

768 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots

The installed memory uses 24 registered ECC DDR4 modules totalling 768 GB, with a platform ceiling of 1.5 TB. This single figure determines whether the server can hold the working set for your workload or if a higher-capacity memory configuration is required.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the dual 800 GB SSDs and the full 8-bay capacity?

The server ships with two 800 GB SATA SSDs installed in the 2.5" bays; six additional bays remain free for extra SATA or SAS drives if you need more capacity.

What does the 3.6 GHz turbo figure mean for actual workloads?

Each Xeon E5-2699 v3 can boost from 2.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz on active cores, giving short bursts of extra throughput for database queries or HPC tasks.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA; installed SSDs run at SATA 6 Gb/s, so that link speed is the practical ceiling.
