Dell PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.60 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight slots. A PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache manages the internal drive bays.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes

This server fits environments that need dense 2.5-inch SAS storage in a 2U form factor with dual-processor compute. The 24-bay chassis and H730 RAID controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for local data redundancy. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or who need GPU-accelerated compute density should evaluate alternative platforms. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis that determines how many drives you can install internally. With two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives included, the platform is ready for immediate array configuration. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots for future expansion. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline feature set.
