DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2670 v3 384GB DDR4 No Drive

1U Rack Server for Virtualisation

This 1U Dell PowerEdge R630 holds dual Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores each and 30 MB cache. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote management.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

The twin CPUs and large memory pool suit dense virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-thread-count compute tasks. Integrated graphics and the 10 GbE plus 1 GbE network card handle management and data traffic without extra cards. Buyers who need GPU compute, more than two sockets or a smaller memory footprint should evaluate other platforms.

Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The 8SFF front panel accepts up to eight SAS drives or SSDs, letting you scale capacity or performance to the workload. No drives are installed so you can populate the bays with the exact media the application demands. This drive-bay count and SAS interface are the primary constraints when matching the server to a storage design.
