Rack server with dual 16-core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, giving 32 cores total for heavily threaded workloads. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules installed in 24 available slots.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts

Organisations running dense virtual-machine clusters, in-memory databases, or SAS-heavy storage workloads will match the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis and H730P RAID controller. Buyers needing more than 24 DIMM slots, a GPU-dense enclosure, or single-thread speeds well above 3.7 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

Storage controlled by H730P with 1.2 TB SAS drives

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy options and I/O throughput for the installed drive set.
