Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualisation, database and compute-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis uses a Dell PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and integrated graphics.
Suits dense virtualisation
This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS should evaluate other platforms because this system uses integrated graphics and a SAS RAID controller only.
384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed
The single specification that decides fit is the 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed across the 24 DIMM slots. This leaves 384 GB of headroom up to the 768 GB maximum, so buyers can expand later without replacing existing modules.
