DELL PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-Core 1.5TB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS

Mission-Critical Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.20 GHz with 24 cores, delivering 96 cores total for heavy parallel workloads. The system ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots. Twenty-four 1.8 TB SAS drives provide high-capacity internal storage on a PERC H330 controller.

Fit for In-Memory Databases and Virtualisation

This configuration targets organisations running SAP HANA, Oracle or SQL Server instances that demand massive memory footprints and core density in a single chassis. The 96 available DIMM slots support expansion up to 12 TB for future growth. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or front-accessible NVMe bays should evaluate other platforms because this unit relies on a Matrox G200 graphics controller and the current drive population uses SAS interfaces only.

Deciding Specification: 96 Cores and 1.5 TB DDR4

The combination of four 24-core Xeon processors and 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory defines whether this server matches your workload. If your application scales across 96 threads and fits within the installed memory, the R930 delivers immediate capacity. If the dataset exceeds 1.5 TB or requires more than 96 threads, you must plan for memory expansion or a larger cluster.
