DELL PowerEdge R730 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 256GB DDR4 8LFF

Dual Xeon 2.1GHz 16-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1GHz with sixteen cores each and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory in a 2U rack chassis. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density

This configuration fits buyers who want high thread count for hypervisors, container clusters or database instances that benefit from thirty-two total cores and large memory capacity. It is not for workloads that require single-thread speeds above 2.1GHz, GPU compute acceleration, or more than eight 3.5-inch drive bays. The fixed dual-socket design also rules out single-socket licensing models.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 RAID controller driving up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives. No drives are installed, so capacity and redundancy depend entirely on the disks you add. This single spec decides whether the chassis matches your storage topology.
