DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 22-Core 2.2GHz 256GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS

Dual 22-Core Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each delivering 22 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules.

Upgrade From Single-Socket

This server replaces single-socket systems or dual-socket platforms with fewer than 44 total cores when workloads demand higher parallel throughput for virtualisation density or database concurrency. The jump is worth it when your current host saturates CPU queues or memory bandwidth during peak VDI sessions or analytics jobs. The 1.5 TB maximum memory capacity across 24 slots provides headroom for future expansion.

Tool-Less Rail Install With Hot-Swap Components

The included Ready Rails enable tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks, while redundant hot-swap 750 W power supplies and eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow component replacement without downtime. The PERC H730 controller battery protects cached writes during power loss. Ensure your rack provides adequate airflow for 2U density and that network uplinks support SFP+ transceivers for the X520 10 GbE ports.
