Enterprise Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each offering 8 cores at 2.60 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The platform includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730 storage controller with battery-backed cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from dual-socket density and large memory capacity. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 for future expansion. Buyers who require solid-state storage, GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

SAS Storage Configuration

Eight 2.5-inch 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect to the H730 controller, delivering 12 Gb/s throughput with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 options. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric connectivity. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system arrives with 256 GB DDR4 installed and supports up to 1.5 TB across 24 slots, so you can expand when workloads demand it.

What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon speed deliver in daily use?

Two 8-core Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors run at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization and databases.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance?

The PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS controller handles the 8 installed 1.2 TB 10K drives and caps sustained throughput at the controller's 12 Gb/s interface rate.
