Dual Xeon E5-2699 v3 for enterprise workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two 18-core Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.30 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that demand high thread counts and registered ECC memory reliability.

SATA SSD array limited by 6 Gb/s interface

Eight 400 GB enterprise SATA SSDs connect through the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The SATA 6 Gb/s link caps sequential throughput, so sustained write-heavy workloads such as large database ingest or continuous logging will saturate the bus before the flash media reaches its own limits.

64 GB DDR4 with headroom to 1.5 TB

The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across four modules, leaving 20 of 24 slots free for expansion. This capacity comfortably fits moderate virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics, but memory-bound workloads such as large-scale VDI or real-time analytics will require populating additional slots to reach the 1.5 TB maximum.

Questions about this item

Which processor configuration fits the R730 best?

The server comes with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 chips, each running 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo; that is the maximum dual-socket layout this 2U chassis supports.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 figure mean for real workloads?

Four 16 GB registered ECC modules at 2133 MHz occupy four of the 24 slots, leaving twenty open for expansion up to the 1.5 TB platform limit.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit storage performance?

The 1 GB cache 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA card handles the eight installed 400 GB SATA SSDs in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and caps each drive to the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed.
