DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 192GB DDR4 rack server

Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF rack server

This 2U rackmount server houses two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2GHz with 22 cores each. It ships with 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports a maximum capacity of 384GB. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays backed by a Dell PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Remote management is handled through iDRAC8 Express and dual 1100W power supplies are installed.

Suitable for virtualisation hosts

Organisations needing dense internal storage in a standard rack footprint will match the sixteen-bay SAS design and dual-socket compute density. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a tower form factor or memory capacity beyond 384GB will not find those features in this platform. The integrated graphics and single 1GbE dual-port adapter limit use cases demanding discrete compute cards or higher network throughput.

Sixteen 2.5-inch SAS drive bays

The storage subsystem centres on the H730 hardware RAID card driving up to sixteen hot-plug SAS bays; no drives are installed so you populate the array to match capacity and redundancy targets. This bay count and controller pairing is the decisive factor when sizing the server for local data sets.
