DELL PowerEdge R730 8LFF Xeon E5-2699 v3 384GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF 384GB DDR4 Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It uses an 8-bay 3.5-inch LFF chassis and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller for SATA drives. The system includes iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and dual 495 W power supplies. It is aimed at organisations that need dense memory capacity in a two-socket platform.

Suits memory-intensive workloads on a two-socket

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or compute clusters that can use 384 GB of DDR4 today and may grow to the 768 GB maximum. The single 18-core CPU leaves a second socket free for future expansion. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should look at a different platform.

Single Xeon E5-2699 v3 with 18 cores and 45 MB cache

The installed processor delivers 18 cores and 45 MB of cache at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz. This core count and cache size determine the parallel throughput available for the workloads described above. If the application demands higher single-thread frequency or a different core count, a different CPU model would be required.
