DELL PowerEdge R730XD 24x 2.5 2x Xeon E5-2637 v3 512GB DDR4 24x 480GB SSD rack server

Built for virtualization and storage density

This 2U rack server combines dual Xeon E5-2637 v3 processors at 3.5 GHz with 512 GB of DDR4 memory and twenty-four 480 GB SATA SSDs. It is aimed at IT teams that run multiple virtual machines, host databases or need fast local storage for backups and file serving in a single chassis.

Sustained throughput from the PERC H730 controller

The Dell PERC H730 SAS controller manages the 24-drive array with hardware RAID, keeping latency steady during long backup windows or heavy database scans. Dual 1100 W power supplies and integrated cooling keep the platform stable when every drive bay is active for hours at a time.

Replaces smaller 2U boxes or tower servers

Organisations that have outgrown 8-bay or 12-bay systems gain 11.5 TB of flash capacity without adding rack units. The jump makes sense when current storage fills up, memory pressure limits VM density or a single box must consolidate file storage, virtualization and application hosting together.
