Dell PowerEdge R930 4U server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.4 GHz. The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules. A PERC H730P controller manages four 600 GB 10K SAS drives in a 2.5-inch bay configuration.

Suits memory-intensive databases and virtualisation

This server targets organisations running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualisation or analytics platforms that benefit from 96 DIMM slots and up to 12 TB maximum memory. The quad 10 GbE SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports support high-throughput networking. Buyers needing more than four 2.5-inch drive bays or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

96 DDR4 DIMM slots define maximum memory

The chassis provides 96 DDR4 DIMM slots, enabling the 12 TB memory ceiling stated by the manufacturer. Populated with 48 x 8 GB modules today, the server leaves 48 slots free for future expansion. This slot count is the single specification that determines whether the R930 can meet a given memory capacity requirement.
