DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4× Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 1.5TB DDR4 4×960GB SSD

DELL PowerEdge R930 4U quad Xeon server

This DELL PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand massive compute and memory capacity. It ships with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 24 cores for a total of 96 cores. The system includes 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots. Four 960 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H330 controller handle storage duties.

Suited for memory-intensive databases

Organisations running in-memory databases such as SAP HANA, large-scale virtualization clusters, or heavy analytics will benefit from the 96-core density and 1.5 TB memory configuration. The 4U form factor supports up to 24 drives and 12 TB maximum memory for future growth. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread performance above 3.4 GHz turbo should evaluate alternative platforms. Sites without 4U rack space or redundant power infrastructure should also look elsewhere.

Four Xeon E7-8890 v4 CPUs deliver 96 cores total

The defining specification is the quad-socket layout populated with E7-8890 v4 processors, yielding 96 cores at 2.2 GHz base and 3.4 GHz turbo. This core count drives throughput for highly parallel workloads such as OLTP, ERP and large virtual machine fleets. The LGA 2011 socket and C602J chipset limit upgrades to the same v4 processor family. Verify that your licensing and application scaling align with this 96-core baseline before purchase.
