    Description

    The Dell EMC [PowerEdge R730](#Dell EMC) is engineered as a High-Performance Server to handle demanding workloads like Data Warehousing, e-commerce platforms, and virtual desktop infrastructure (Virtualization) environments. Powered by dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 processors and up to 3 TB of low-power DDR4 Memory, the R730 ensures rapid data access for business intelligence and HPC applications.

    Scalable Scalable Storage options include up to sixteen 2.5″ drives or eight 3.5″ drives, delivering as much as 64 TB of hot-plug capacity. Coupled with high-performance dual RAID controllers and up to 16 x 12 Gbps SAS ports, this server reduces latency and accelerates database transactions. The flexible design supports both nearline SAS SSDs and high-capacity HDDs, making it ideal for data-intensive tasks and long-term archiving.

    To simplify management, the R730 integrates the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller and supports iDRAC Management workflows via Dell OpenManage Essentials and Mobile. Automated deployment and real-time health monitoring reduce manual intervention, while advanced power-and-cooling controls optimize performance-per-watt.
