DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16-core 1.5TB DDR4

Mission-critical 4U server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and includes a PERC H330 storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. Four 1100 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, rails and a bezel complete the package.

Scale-up from two-socket platforms

This configuration replaces dual-processor servers when workloads demand the full 96-core, 12 TB memory ceiling of the Intel C602J chipset. The jump is worth it for in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization or analytics that exceed two-socket core counts and memory channels. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives plus eight front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs for extreme I/O.

Buyers consolidating Unix or ERP workloads

It suits organisations consolidating OLTP, OLAP, CRM, ERP, SAP HANA, Oracle or SQL Server onto a single 4U node with RAS features and agent-free remote management. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, arm-based compute or a smaller 1U or 2U form factor should look at something else.
