Dual 22-core Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It delivers 44 total cores and 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The system includes a PERC H730 storage controller with battery backup and two 800 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This server suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, hosting large databases or running high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports extensive internal storage expansion using SATA or SAS drives. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the 1.5 TB maximum should evaluate alternative platforms. Environments requiring a different drive interface than SATA or SAS will not be served by this storage controller.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots determines the immediate capacity for virtualisation density and in-memory workloads. The system can scale to 1.5 TB using 32 GB modules in every slot. Confirm that your application memory footprint fits within this ceiling before deployment. Memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4 registered ECC specifications.

Questions about this item

Does the R730xd ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy extra 2.5-inch SATA SSDs?

Only two 800GB SATA SSDs are installed; the remaining 22 bays are empty and accept additional 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives.

Should I choose the dual 22-core 2.2 GHz Xeon E5-2699 v4 configuration or a lower-core alternative for virtualisation density?

The dual 22-core CPUs deliver 44 threads at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, maximising VM density within the 1.5 TB memory ceiling.

What does the 512 GB DDR4 2400 MHz ECC figure mean for actual database workloads?

Sixteen 32 GB registered ECC modules provide 512 GB of error-corrected memory at 2400 MHz, leaving eight slots free to reach 1.5 TB.
