Dell PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8GHz 10-Core 3TB DDR4 24x 1.92TB SSD H330

Four-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack-mounted server system equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors running at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores each. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 96 slots and supports a maximum of 12 TB. The chassis holds 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.92 TB SATA SSDs.

In-memory database and virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits organisations running memory-intensive workloads such as SAP HANA, Oracle, or SQL Server that benefit from high core counts and large DDR4 capacity. The PERC H330 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for the installed SATA SSDs. Buyers who need NVMe acceleration or GPU compute should look at a different platform because this unit relies on a Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory and the storage controller does not support NVMe.

96 DDR4 DIMM slots for 12 TB maximum

The defining specification is the 96 memory slots that allow scaling from the installed 3 TB up to 12 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory. This density lets you size the system precisely for in-memory analytics or heavy virtualisation without changing chassis. Verify your application's memory growth plan against this ceiling before purchase.
