Dual 22-core Xeon server for virtualised workloads

The PowerEdge R730 packs two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo, delivering 22 cores per socket for a total of 44 cores. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes that need dense CPU resources in a 2U rack form factor.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays simplify rack

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for quick mounting in standard cabinets. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays connect to the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and redundant fans are hot-swappable, so a single failure does not take the system offline.

Sustained compute with ECC memory and 10 GbE uplinks

512 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 16 slots (24 slots total, max 1.5 TB) maintains data integrity during long-running database or HPC jobs. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for consistent network throughput. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the dual 22-core Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 are recognised after initial boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface; both will show 2 processors, 44 total cores at 2.2GHz base, and 512GB registered ECC memory across 16 populated DIMM slots.

Which components ship with the R730 and which must be sourced separately?

Included: 2U chassis, 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4, 512GB DDR4, PERC H730 1GB controller, 2x 800GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC (2x 1GbE, 2x 10Gb SFP+), iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, bezel, rails. No additional drives, memory or rails are supplied.

Should I choose this 512GB configuration or a lower-capacity R730 for virtual desktop infrastructure?

The 512GB (16x 32GB) DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC fills 16 of 24 slots and supports dense VDI workloads; select it when your sizing calls for maximum memory per 2U node.
