Dual 18-Core Xeon Server for Dense Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz, providing 18 cores each for heavily threaded workloads. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 populated slots, leaving eight slots free for future expansion up to 1.5 TB total capacity.

Suits Consolidation Projects.

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory footprints, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, database hosting or high-performance computing nodes. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays but no drives are included, so buyers who need substantial local storage out of the box should consider a different configuration.

PERC H730 Controller Defines RAID Flexibility

The integrated Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery to protect cached writes. If your deployment requires hardware RAID with broad level support, this controller meets that need; if you rely on software RAID or a different controller feature set, verify compatibility before ordering.
