PowerEdge R730xd 12-Bay 2U Server

This 2U rack server delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors with 28 total cores running at 2.4 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730 RAID controller managing twelve 3.5-inch 4 TB SATA drives. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads that need dense internal storage and remote management via iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Suits storage-heavy workloads; not for GPU compute

The twelve-bay chassis and hardware RAID support make it a fit for teams that prioritise high-capacity rotational storage with redundancy options from RAID 0 through RAID 60. Organisations needing GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, solid-state boot drives or 2.5-inch drive density should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon 14-core CPUs with 128 GB DDR4

Two 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 chips at 2.4 GHz (3.3 GHz turbo) and 128 GB of registered DDR4-2400 ECC memory define the compute ceiling. This configuration decides whether the system can handle your virtualisation density, database thread count or HPC node requirements before you consider adding memory up to the 1.5 TB maximum.
