DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 1.5TB DDR4 H730P 4x 600GB HDD

Enterprise compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores for a total of 96 cores. It ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Four 600 GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports, iDRAC8 Enterprise, four 1100 W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel are included.

Suited for memory-bound workloads

This configuration targets organisations running large in-memory databases, dense virtualisation clusters or analytics platforms that benefit from the 12 TB maximum memory ceiling and 96 DIMM slots. Buyers who need more than four 2.5-inch drive bays or who require front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs should look at a different chassis, as this unit provides only the four installed SAS bays.

1.5 TB DDR4 starting point

The installed 1.5 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory determines whether the server can immediately support the intended dataset size; the platform can scale to 12 TB across 96 slots if the workload grows.
