The Poweredge R630 specs make this a true powerhouse server for a variety of reasons. This Dell PowerEdge server offers multiple local storage options in a compact, 1U rackmount server form factor. It is also great for a variety of use cases, whether you’re looking at transactional databases or virtualization environments, thanks to its large memory capacity and powerful CPU.
The dual socket support that you get from this R630 server from the Dell product line allows you to use up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors. With up to 22 cores per CPU, this is an excellent choice for intensive virtualization environments. It’s memory support is also excellent, with 24 memory slots on this server that allow you to have up to 1.5TB of DDR4 memory running at 2400MHz. You can choose between RDIMM and LRDIMM memory, allowing for a bit of versatility when shopping for RAM. Having plenty of RAM is crucial when you’re doing heavy multitasking, making the R630 ideal for that as well.
The Dell PowerEdge is no slouch when it comes to server storage either. You have four drive slots which allow you to fit up to eight 2.5” hard drives, and you can choose between regular mechanical hard drives and solid state storage. While you oftentimes need large amounts of storage for a server like the Dell PowerEdge, the R630 allows you to combine slower but more affordable mechanical hard drives with fast SSDs for the software running on the server.
Last but not least, the Dell PowerEdge R630 is a server that comes with an iDRAC8 remote access card with a Lifecycle Controller, allowing for easy remote control over the entire server even when you’re not physically near it. This makes it incredibly easy for owners and managers of large data centers and server farms to manage everything from a centralized location without the need to go to their server.
All things considered, the R630 model from the Dell PowerEdge lineup is an extremely versatile 1U rackmount server that allows you to configure it as per your needs. It has dual CPU support, plenty of RAM and hard drive storage, and is overall a tried-and-tested product that works remarkably well in a variety of scenarios.
