DELL PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 16-Core 2.4GHz 3TB DDR4 4x 600GB SAS

Quad-socket Xeon server for memory-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R930 packs four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.40 GHz and a 3.30 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 96 DIMM slots and four 600 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. This 4U rackmount system targets enterprises running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualisation or analytics platforms that demand maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis.

SAS and SATA drive limits in a 24-bay chassis

The R930 supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives plus eight front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs for ultra-fast data access. The installed PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity and handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. Network I/O comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise for agent-free provisioning and lifecycle automation.

Replaces multi-node clusters for consolidated

A single R930 can replace several two-socket servers when workloads require up to 96 cores and 12 TB of memory in one operating-system image. The jump is worth it for SAP HANA, Oracle, SQL Server or Unix-to-Linux migrations that benefit from shared-memory architecture and reduced software licensing per core. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, higher single-thread frequency or a smaller 1U or 2U footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.
