DELL PowerEdge R930 4U 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16C 1.5TB DDR4 4x1.92TB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon server for memory-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R930 fits four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.4 GHz, into a 4U rack chassis. It ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and can scale to 12 TB using all 96 slots. The platform targets in-memory databases, virtualization clusters and analytics jobs that need sustained CPU and memory bandwidth.

Sustained compute and storage throughput

Four 1100 W platinum power supplies feed the CPUs, memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup. The controller manages four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, delivering steady IOPS for mixed read-write streams. Dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports on the X520/I350 daughter card keep network pipelines full during long-running jobs. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring without agent overhead.

Maximum memory capacity of 12 TB

The 96 DDR4 slots and C602J chipset set a hard ceiling of 12 TB, which decides whether the system can hold an entire working set in RAM. Workloads that exceed this limit must spill to storage, changing latency profiles dramatically. Buyers who need more memory per socket should evaluate platforms with larger DIMM counts or different memory architectures.
