DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 2.2GHz 22-core 256GB DDR4 2x 300GB HDD

Dual 22-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 22 cores for a total of 44 threads across the dual-socket Intel C610 platform. It arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight 32 GB modules.

Suited for virtualisation and databases

This configuration targets midsize to large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache battery. Organisations needing more than 24 DIMM slots, more than two processor sockets or integrated GPU compute should evaluate other platforms.

1.5 TB maximum memory capacity

The system board offers 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with your workload or if a higher-capacity platform is required from the outset.
