DELL PowerEdge R630 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2687W v3 3.1 GHz 10-Core 384GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Dell PowerEdge R630 8SFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R630 is a 1U rack server that fits eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Xeon E5-2687W v3 processors run at 3.1 GHz with ten cores each and 25 MB cache per chip. 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages SATA storage. Dual 495 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits teams that need dense compute and large memory in a single rack unit. The eight-bay chassis and high core count support heavy virtualisation or in-memory databases. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or more than 1.5 TB of memory should look at other platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives mean separate GPU or storage purchases are required.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification for memory-intensive applications. The system supports a maximum of 1.5 TB across 24 DIMM slots. Only DDR4 modules are compatible; other DDR generations will not fit. This capacity determines whether the server can hold the working set for your workload.
