DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2687W v4 256GB DDR4 rack server

Dual 12-core Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R630 is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Xeon E5-2687W v4 processors running at 3.0 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets datacentre workloads that demand high core density and large memory capacity in a compact form factor. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running in-memory databases or hosting compute-intensive applications that benefit from 24 cores and 30 MB of cache per socket. The integrated graphics and dual 495 W power supplies support headless operation and redundancy. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays or a different storage interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

Maximum memory capacity of 1.5 TB

The system can scale from the installed 256 GB up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, allowing future growth without replacing the server. This ceiling determines whether the platform can accommodate expanding datasets or additional virtual machines over its service life.
