DELL PowerEdge M630 rack server 2x E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 512GB 2x 480GB SATA SSD H730

Dell PowerEdge M630 blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M630 is a rack-mount blade server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel E5-2630v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing eight cores. A total of 512 GB DDR4 memory is installed across sixteen 32 GB modules operating at PC4-2133 speed. Dual 480 GB SATA SSDs are managed by an H730 RAID controller.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high-performance computing tasks that demand large memory capacity and fast dual-processor throughput. The two 2.5-inch drive bays limit local storage expansion, so deployments needing many local disks should consider alternative platforms. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration or more than two mezzanine cards will not find those options here.

512 GB DDR4 memory capacity decides fit

The sixteen installed 32 GB DDR4 modules fill the memory subsystem and define the server's ability to host numerous virtual machines or large in-memory datasets. If the target workload fits within this capacity, the dual eight-core CPUs and 10 GbE networking provide matching throughput. If more memory is required, a different chassis or configuration must be sourced.
