Dual 14-Core Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives and a quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 GbE SFP+ network card are installed.

Suits virtualisation and dense storage.

This configuration targets midsize to large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehousing or high-performance computing as a data node. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual 750 W platinum supplies support heavy internal storage density. Buyers who require GPU acceleration should look at alternative platforms because this unit has no GPU provision.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. Two 300 GB 12 Gb/s SAS drives are fitted and the backplane accepts SAS or SATA media across all 24 bays.
