Dual 22-core Xeon density

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU delivers 22 cores, giving 44 cores total for heavily threaded workloads such as virtualisation, database serving and high-performance computing nodes. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving headroom to reach the 1.5 TB maximum capacity. It targets organisations that need maximum core count in a compact 2U form factor.

From lower-core predecessors

Replacing earlier dual-socket servers limited to 8, 10 or 12 cores per processor, this configuration doubles thread capacity without expanding rack footprint. The jump is worthwhile when licensing costs scale per socket and the workload can saturate 44 cores, such as large virtual desktop infrastructure deployments or dense container hosts. Buyers who only need modest thread counts or single-socket economics will find smaller platforms more cost-effective.

Sustained throughput under load

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap design keep the platform stable during prolonged compute runs. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the two 800 GB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, delivering consistent I/O for database logs and scratch space. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links prevents bottlenecks when moving data between cluster nodes. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit are included for mounting this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Dell Ready Rails for tool-less installation in standard four-post racks.

Which storage controller and drive bays are used for the installed SSDs, and what RAID levels does the controller support?

The PERC H730 1GB mini controller manages the two 800 GB SATA SSDs in the front 2.5-inch bays and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

How many memory slots are populated now, what module size is fitted, and how much additional DDR4 capacity can be added?

All 24 slots hold 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs for 768 GB total; the system accepts up to 1.5 TB, so another 768 GB can be added.
