I so want one if these. This thing is a monster. 6TB of RAM!! Imagine XenServer on this thing.
And that is the new H730p PERC in it too. 2GB of RAID cache. 12gb/s SAS.

@scottalanmiller That is a monster! Monster price too

Yeah, not cheap. But it is the power of two full R720 servers together. The ability to scale a single workload is just nuts. Imagine using that as a dedicated database server.

With the 24 drives in RAID 10 I believe that this would be a good fit for one of my clients, sadly I hear the datacenter they are moving to suggested a rig 1/10 the power with a magic SAN device.

They are asking their datacenter for server advice? That sounds pretty weird. I've honestly never heard of someone doing that before.
What kind of workload are they doing that requires this kind of horsepower?
