DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2× Xeon 14-core 2.0GHz 64GB DDR4 H730 8×2.5" trays

Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The system includes a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, rails and a front bezel.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 28 total cores and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processor sockets should consider alternative platforms.

24 DDR4 slots up to 1.5 TB

The motherboard provides 24 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with future workload demands or if a higher-capacity platform is needed.
