2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suits dense compute; not for massive memory

This server fits workloads that need strong per-core performance in a compact 2U form factor, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application tiers. The single-socket layout and 8GB starting memory limit capacity for memory-heavy analytics or large-scale VDI deployments. Buyers who need more storage should note the chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, though only two drives are included.

Single E5-2650 v3 socket defines ceiling

The installed processor is a single ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3; the board accepts a second matching CPU to double core count and unlock the remaining twelve DIMM slots. Without that second processor the maximum memory stays at 8GB despite the 24-slot backplane. This socket constraint is the decisive factor when sizing the system for a target workload.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single E5-2650 v3 or add the second CPU?

The board supports two Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors; the unit ships with one ten-core 2.3GHz chip giving 20 threads, so add the second only if your workloads need more than 20 threads.

What does the 2.3GHz ten-core CPU deliver in daily use?

Ten physical cores at 2.3GHz with hyper-threading provide 20 logical threads, suited to virtualisation, database and multi-threaded applications running on DDR4 memory.

How does the H730 12Gbps SAS controller limit drive speed?

The PERC H730 runs at 12Gbps SAS and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; installed 300GB 15K drives operate at 6Gbps, so the controller does not bottleneck them.
