DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16-core 768GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS

Dense four-socket compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores. This configuration targets organisations that run large in-memory databases, heavy virtualisation clusters or ERP suites where core count and memory capacity matter more than single-thread speed.

Sustained throughput with 1100 W redundancy

Four 1100 W platinum power supplies share the load, so the system maintains full CPU and memory performance during extended calculation windows without thermal throttling. The PERC H730P controller manages twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, delivering consistent random I/O for OLTP and analytics workloads over long periods.

Rail installation and cabling discipline

ReadyRails mount the 4U chassis in standard square-hole racks, but the unit's depth demands careful cable routing at the rear to avoid blocking airflow to the redundant PSUs. The iDRAC8 Enterprise module provides remote console and power control before the operating system loads, reducing the need for physical visits once the server is racked.
