POWEREDGE R730 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 PowerEdge R730 excels at a wide range of demanding workloads
for midsize and large enterprises, such as data warehouses,
e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), databases and
high-performance computing HPC) as a data node. When configured
with 3.5" drives, the R730 provides up to 64TB of rapidly accessed
storage for databases, business intelligence and HPC applications.
Deliver peak performance
Drive peak compute performance across a variety of workloads
with the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 product family and
state-of-the-art DDR4 memory. Boost data access for applications
with up to 16 x 12Gbps SAS drives and high-performance dual RAID.
Take advantage of advanced accelerators and GPUs to maximize
performance in HPC, VDI and imaging environments.
Discover greater versatility
With 24 DIMMs of high-capacity, low-power DDR4 memory, seven
PCI Express® (PCIe) 3.0 expansion slots and highly scalable local
storage, the R730 is extremely flexible. Create a dense, resourcerich
virtualization environment with up to 16 x 2.5" drives. Combine
that with the R730’s GPU capability to save infrastructure costs and
consolidate management operations in a scalable and centralized
virtual desktop environment. The GPU option also makes the R730 an
excellent choice as a midrange medical imaging solution.
Maximize operational efficiency
PowerEdge servers let you construct and manage highly efficient
infrastructures for data centers and small businesses. Accelerate
time-to-production with automated deployment processes that use
fewer manual steps and reduce the potential for error. Improve IT
productivity with innovative at-the-server management tools like
iDRAC Direct and iDRAC Quick Sync to deliver in-depth system
health status and speed deployment, Optimize data center energy
usage with improved performance-per-watt and more granular
control of power and cooling.
Innovative management with intelligent automation
The Dell OpenManage systems management portfolio includes
innovative solutions that simplify and automate essential server
lifecycle management tasks — making IT operations more efficient
and Dell EMC servers the most productive, reliable and cost
effective. Leveraging the incomparable agent-free capabilities of the
PowerEdge embedded integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
(iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller technology, server deployment,
configuration and updates are streamlined across the OpenManage
portfolio and through integration with third-party management
solutions.
Monitoring and control of Dell EMC and third-party data center
hardware is provided by OpenManage Essentials and with anytime,
anywhere mobile access, through OpenManage Mobile. OpenManage
Essentials now also delivers Server Configuration Management
capabilities that automate one:many PowerEdge bare-metal
server and OS deployments, quick and consistent replication of
configurations and ensure compliance to a predefined baseline with
automated drift detection.
