Need serious compute power without spending a fortune on newer-generation hardware? The Dell PowerEdge R830 is one of the most powerful servers Dell ever produced in its 13th Generation lineup, delivering an incredible 88 CPU cores and 176 threads in a single 2U chassis.
Powered by four Intel Xeon E5-4669 v4 processors, this server is built for organizations running large virtualization environments, high-performance databases, private cloud infrastructure, VDI deployments, analytics platforms, and other compute-intensive workloads. Few servers can match the processing density offered by the R830, making it a favorite among IT professionals who need maximum performance per rack unit.
This configuration includes 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory and 8x 1.2TB enterprise SAS drives, providing 9.6TB of high-performance storage for virtual machines, applications, databases, and business-critical data. The Dell PERC H730P RAID controller delivers advanced storage management, data protection, and enterprise reliability.
What truly sets the R830 apart is its four-socket architecture. While most rack servers are limited to two processors, the R830 supports four CPUs, allowing organizations to consolidate workloads, increase VM density, and maximize compute resources while minimizing rack space requirements.
