HP 709942-001 ProLiant DL380p Gen8 rack server 2× Xeon E5-2630 v2 2.6 GHz 32 GB DDR3

HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 2U server

The HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 is a 2U rack-mountable server system built for data-centre and growing-business workloads. It ships with two Xeon E5-2630 v2 processors at 2.6 GHz and 32 GB of DDR3 memory, expandable to 384 GB. Six expansion slots and eight drive bays provide internal growth room. The Matrox G200 graphics controller handles basic display output.

Suits dual-socket rack deployments

This server suits organisations that need a two-socket rack platform with hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS drive support and up to 384 GB of DDR3 memory. It is less appropriate for buyers who require GPU acceleration, workloads that demand more than two physical processors, or environments that need a newer DDR generation than DDR3. The single high-voltage power cord included means a compatible PDU is required.

384 GB maximum DDR3 capacity

The 384 GB maximum DDR3 capacity is the specification that determines whether this chassis can meet your memory footprint. With 32 GB installed across the two Xeon E5-2630 v2 CPUs, the system leaves headroom for large virtualisation or database workloads. If your application exceeds this limit, a platform supporting a higher memory ceiling must be chosen.
