DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2697 v4 256GB DDR4 rack server

Compact 1U rack server for dense virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R630 fits two Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis with eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual 495 W supplies and an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full remote management. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS or SATA drives in hardware RAID. This configuration ships without drives so you can populate the bays to match capacity and performance needs.

Suits consolidation workloads.

This server targets organisations running hypervisors, databases or high-thread-count applications that benefit from 36 cores and 256 GB of registered ECC RAM. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe expansion space rule out GPU compute or accelerator cards. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, additional processor sockets, or dedicated GPU slots should consider larger form-factor platforms.

Dual 18-core Xeon E5-2697 v4 at 2.3 GHz

Two processors deliver 36 cores and 45 MB of cache each at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz. This core count and clock speed determine the throughput for heavily threaded workloads such as virtualisation hosts or database engines. Verify that your licensing model and application scaling align with 36 physical cores before committing.
