Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualization

The DELL PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0GHz with 3.2GHz turbo. Each CPU provides 14 cores for a total of 28 threads, supported by 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 12 slots. The system includes a PERC H730P 2GB storage controller with battery backup and eight 2.5-inch drive trays for hot-swap SAS or SATA drives.

Suited for consolidation workloads.

This server targets organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters, Microsoft SQL Server databases, file and print services or software-defined storage. Dual 750-watt platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering or VDI workloads should look elsewhere because the specification lists no GPU support or PCIe GPU clearance data.

PERC H730P controller dictates RAID options

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2GB 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays populated with the eight included trays. Memory capacity can reach 384GB using DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules across the 12 available slots.
