DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18 Core 16GB DDR4 H330 4x 2.5" Trays 2x 750W

Enterprise 5U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz with 3.3GHz turbo. Eighteen cores per CPU deliver thirty-six threads for demanding multi-threaded workloads. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory is installed across two modules. The system includes a PERC H330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller and four 2.5-inch drive trays.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server suits teams running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint. Database administrators hosting Microsoft SQL Server or similar workloads benefit from the dual-socket design and ECC memory protection. Organisations requiring sixteen hot-swap bays or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other configurations because only four trays are populated and the onboard controller is limited to SAS and SATA protocols.

Dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 18-Core CPUs

The pair of 18-core Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors is the specification that defines capacity for this platform. Thirty-six total cores at 2.1GHz base frequency set the ceiling for concurrent virtual machines, database connections and compile jobs. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or more than thirty-six threads must select a different CPU configuration because the socket limit is two LGA 2011 packages.
