DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 384GB DDR4 H730P

Four-socket Xeon server for memory-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 48 modules and supports up to 12 TB in 96 slots. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for SATA and SAS drives.

Ideal for in-memory databases

Organisations running SAP HANA, Oracle or SQL Server workloads that demand high core counts and massive memory capacity will benefit from the 96 total cores and 12 TB ceiling. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, extensive NVMe storage beyond the eight front-accessible bays, or a smaller form factor for edge deployment should evaluate alternative platforms.

Verify rack space, power and network infrastructure

Confirm the 4U rack height fits the cabinet and that the facility can supply four 1100 W platinum power supplies. Ensure the Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports matches the existing switch connectivity. Check that the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote-management licence aligns with the current management suite.
