Dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 2.3GHz Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors, each running at 2.3GHz with 18 cores and 45MB cache. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters.

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation platforms, large databases or high-thread-count applications that benefit from 36 total cores and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The installed iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provides full remote management. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory with 768GB maximum

The system arrives with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM installed across the available DIMM slots. The platform supports a maximum capacity of 768GB, allowing a future upgrade if workloads grow. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4; other generations are not compatible.
