Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller.

Virtualisation hosts needing maximum core density

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, database nodes or compute-heavy applications that benefit from 24 total cores and 768 GB RAM. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 768 GB will need a different platform. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or 2.5-inch bay density should also evaluate other models.

768 GB DDR4 memory ceiling

The system is populated to its maximum supported memory capacity of 768 GB using DDR4 registered DIMMs. No further memory expansion is possible within this chassis, so the installed capacity determines the workload ceiling. Confirm that your application footprint fits within this limit before deployment.
