Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance compute workloads. It ships with dual Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores and 19.25 MB cache. Memory is 64 GB DDR4 arranged as four 16 GB PC4-2666 modules. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and an H730P RAID controller provide the primary storage.

Suits dense compute and storage in a 2U form factor

Organisations that need up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots and dual 10 GbE plus dual 1 GbE networking will find the configuration well matched. The 1100 W redundant power supply and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than eight internal drives or who require storage interfaces other than SAS should look elsewhere.

H730P RAID controller with eight 1.2 TB SAS drives

The H730P controller manages the eight installed 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, delivering hardware RAID for redundancy and performance. This storage subsystem is the key specification that determines whether the server meets a given capacity and I/O requirement.
