1 System overview
Introduction
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R630 is Dell’s latest 2-socket, 1U rack server designed to run complex
workloads using highly scalable memory, I/O capacity and flexible network options. The R630
features the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor E5-2600 v3 product family, up to 24 DIMMs, PCI Express
®
(PCIe)
3.0 enabled expansion slots, and a choice of NIC technologies.
The PowerEdge R630 is a general-purpose platform with highly expandable memory (up to 768GB)
and impressive I/O capabilities to match. The R630 can readily handle very demanding workloads,
such as data warehouses, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), databases and high-
performance computing (HPC).
The R630 brings a new dimension to dense rack servers with up to 24 x 1.8” solid-state drives (SSD)
available in a single 1U chassis. The 24 drives can be zoned to add a second Dell PowerEdge RAID
Controller (PERC) controller for maximum IOPS performance.
Manage data overload
Keep pace with the explosion of data in the virtual age with the flexible I/O and storage capabilities
of the R630. You can quickly access and process vast amounts of data with up to 24 internal hot-
plug SSDs. The R630 is a great solution for any midsize or large business that requires scalability in
storage capacity while optional hot-plug, front-access Express Flash PCIe SSDs (up to 4) enable
performance-enhancing, in-box storage tiering.
Tailor your network fabric
The R630 allows you to tailor your network throughput to match your application needs, enabling
added I/O performance. Dell’s flexible NIC technology Select Network Adapters, or Network
Daughter Cards (NDC), let you choose the right network fabric without using a valuable PCI slot.
You can pick speed, technology, vendor and other options, like switch independent partitioning that
lets you share and manage bandwidth on 10GbE connections.
Virtualize more
Maximize your data center’s application capacity by expanding your virtual environment using the
large memory footprint of the R630. Choose an industry-leading hypervisor and take advantage of
our system management capability to manage both physical and virtual assets. Redundant failsafe
hypervisors can also help maximize your virtual machines’ uptime. Dell’s Virtual Integrated System
(VIS) solution lets you enable complex virtualization environments in just a few mouse clicks.
Dell OpenManage systems management
The Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio includes the Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller 8 (iDRAC8) with Lifecycle Controller. Dell embedded server management features help IT
Administrators manage Dell servers in physical, virtual, local and remote environments, operating in-
band or out-of-band, with or without a systems management software agent. OpenManage also
integrates with and connects to third-party systems management solutions so you can maintain
your single point of control and capitalize on your existing investment. OpenManage solutions
simplify the lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring and maintaining your PowerEdge servers.
