Dual Xeon 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor delivers 18 cores for demanding multi-threaded applications. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 slots, expandable to 384 GB, and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This server suits organisations running virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as database workloads including Microsoft SQL Server. Buyers who need populated drive bays or included rack rails should look elsewhere, as the unit ships with four 2.5-inch trays only and no front bezel or ready rails.

16-bay 2.5-inch chassis

The chassis provides 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays supporting SAS and SATA drives, while only four drive trays are included. This bay count and tray provision are the key constraints when planning storage capacity and additional hardware purchases.
