DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 3TB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon E7-8890 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 24 cores, delivering 96 cores in total for heavy multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 96 DIMM slots and supports a maximum capacity of 12 TB. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the 24 installed 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives in a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for memory-intensive databases

This configuration targets organisations running in-memory databases such as SAP HANA, Oracle or SQL Server, plus large-scale virtualisation and analytics clusters that benefit from high core counts and massive memory bandwidth. The four 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation in mission-critical environments. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than 24 front drive bays, or a smaller form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Verify rack space, power

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 4U chassis and that the facility provides sufficient power distribution for four 1100 W supplies. The network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure compatible switching and cabling are available. The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; plan the desired RAID level and any additional drives required. Rails and front bezel are included for standard rack mounting.
