DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 22C 2.2GHz 128GB DDR4 H730 8x 400GB SSD

Built for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages eight 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits dense compute and storage

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from 44 total cores and fast SATA SSD storage. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1.5 TB. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, 10 GbE copper ports instead of SFP+, or a chassis larger than 2U should look elsewhere.

Forty-four cores in a 2U form factor

The dual 22-core Xeon processors deliver 44 cores at a 2.2 GHz base frequency with 3.6 GHz turbo capability. This core density determines whether the server can handle the intended parallel workloads within a 2U rack space.
