A highly versatile, two-socket 2U rack server with impressive processor performance, a large memory footprint, extensive I/O options and a choice of dense, high performance storage or low-cost, high-capacity storage.
The Refurbished Dell PowerEdge R730 CTO Rack Server, a highly versatile 2U rack server designed to deliver peak performance and tackle almost any workload. With the latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 product family with up to 22 cores and up to 24 DIMMs of high-capacity DDR4 memory, this server is perfect for midsize and large enterprises that require demanding workloads such as data warehouses, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), databases, and high-performance computing (HPC) as a data node.
Deliver peak performance
With extensive I/O options and a choice of dense, high-performance storage or low-cost, high-capacity storage, the PowerEdge R730 provides up to 64TB of rapidly accessed storage for databases, business intelligence, and HPC applications when configured with 3.5" drives. This makes it an ideal solution for environments that require processing acceleration, including graphics-intensive VDI implementations such as CAD/CAM and other research and development applications.
GPU Performance
The R730 is extremely flexible with seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, up to 16 x 2.5" SAS, SATA, nearline SAS HDD/SSD, and up to 8 x 3.5" SAS, SATA, nearline SAS HDD/SSD. It also has the option for up to two 300W dual-width accelerators/GPUs (choose from Intel® Xeon Phi, NVIDIA Tesla, and AMD FirePro) to support environments that require processing acceleration
Discover greater versatility
With its ability to create a dense, resource-rich virtualization environment and consolidate management operations in a scalable and centralized virtual desktop environment, the R730 is an excellent choice for midrange medical imaging solutions. It also delivers outstanding functionality in just 2U of rack space, making it an ideal compute node for IT as a service (XaaS) providers
