DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18 Core 64GB DDR4

Dual Xeon 18-Core Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and includes a PERC HBA330 controller for SAS and SATA drives. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap trays, dual gigabit Ethernet, iDRAC 8 Express remote management and redundant 750 W power supplies complete the platform.

Suits Multi-Tenant Workloads Not GPU Tasks

This server fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters, database instances, file services or backup targets that benefit from high core counts and large memory headroom up to 384 GB. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration, more than two processor sockets or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-Inch Bays Define Storage Scale

The single specification that decides fit is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays backed by the HBA330 controller; it sets the maximum number of SAS or SATA devices the chassis can hold without adding external enclosures.
