DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C 64GB DDR4 H330 16×2.5" bay

Built for virtualisation and database workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Eighteen cores per socket and 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory deliver strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation hosts, database servers and business-critical applications. The PERC H330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, of which four trays are included.

Suits teams needing dense 2.5-inch storage

This chassis fits organisations that want up to sixteen SAS or SATA drives in a single 5U box with integrated iDRAC 8 Express for out-of-band administration. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy without extra hardware. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory, more than two processor sockets, or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays define

With a maximum of sixteen bays and the H330 controller limited to SAS and SATA protocols, total raw capacity and IOPS scale directly with the number and type of drives installed. Planning the drive count up front determines whether the server meets the workload’s performance and capacity targets.
