DELL PowerEdge R930 4U 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 1.5TB 24x 1.92TB SSD H330 iDRAC8 Enterprise 4x 1100W

Mission-critical compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R930 packs four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.2 GHz, into a 4U rack chassis. With 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots, it targets in-memory databases, heavy virtualisation and analytic workloads that demand maximum core count and memory capacity in a single node.

Thermal and power profile

Four 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies provide redundant delivery for the fully populated CPU and memory configuration. The 4U form factor allows ample airflow across the 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and the PERC H330 controller, keeping component temperatures stable under sustained enterprise loads without exotic cooling requirements.

Upgrade path and fit

This system replaces older four-socket servers limited to lower core counts or smaller memory ceilings, and consolidates multiple two-socket nodes running SQL Server, SAP HANA or Oracle workloads. The jump is worth it when licensing, rack space or interconnect latency make scale-up preferable to scale-out, and when the 12 TB memory ceiling and 24-bay storage density are both needed.
