Dual 18-core Xeon server for virtualization

The PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Twenty-four cores in total deliver the multi-threaded capacity needed for hypervisor hosts, database instances and business-critical applications.

Redundant power and hot-swap drive trays simplify

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy while four included 2.5-inch trays populate the sixteen-bay chassis. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for SAS or SATA drives, and iDRAC 8 Express enables remote management without a separate console.

Memory ceiling of 384 GB DDR4 determines scaling

Eight 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules occupy eight of twelve slots, leaving four slots open for future expansion. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of RAM cannot extend this platform further and should evaluate a newer generation.
