Dell R730 2× Xeon 384GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz. It ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller inside an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis. The unit includes iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and dual 495W power supplies. This configuration suits data-centre deployments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

Organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or compute clusters benefit from the 24 total cores and 768GB maximum memory ceiling. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or a different drive form factor cannot use this chassis. Workloads that require GPU acceleration have only integrated graphics available. Teams without rack infrastructure should look at tower or pedestal alternatives.

8-bay 2.5-inch SATA/SAS chassis with PERC H730

The server provides eight front-accessible 2.5-inch bays connected to the PERC H730 RAID controller supporting SAS and SATA drives. No drives are installed, so storage capacity and redundancy must be specified at order time. The 768GB memory limit defines the maximum RAM upgrade path. Network connectivity includes two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports via Intel I350/X540 adapters.
