DELL PowerEdge R730 8LFF 2x Xeon E5-2637 v4 384GB DDR4

PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for virtualisation, database and compute-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2637 v4 processors running at 3.5 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Dual Xeon E5-2637 v4 at 3.5 GHz

The pair of 4-core Xeon E5-2637 v4 CPUs delivers 3.5 GHz base frequency with 15 MB cache each. This clock speed is the key figure for single-thread performance and licensing calculations. The board supports a maximum of two processors, so this configuration already reaches the socket limit. Buyers who need higher core counts per socket should evaluate other processor options.

PERC H730 RAID with dual 495 W supplies

Storage connects through the Dell PERC H730 SAS controller, which manages RAID across the eight drive bays. Networking includes two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports via Intel I350 and X540 adapters. Dual 495 W power supplies provide redundancy. Integrated graphics handles console output. The system leaves 384 GB of the 768 GB maximum memory capacity available for future expansion.
