HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2623 v3 16GB DDR4 H240

HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

This 1U rack server delivers balanced compute density for general-purpose workloads. It fits cloud deployments, virtualisation hosts and database tiers that need up to 36 total cores across two processor sockets. The compact form factor suits space-constrained racks where power and cooling budgets are tight.

Redundant hot-swap power and eight SFF drive bays

Dual redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running during a module failure without a shutdown. Eight 2.5-inch small-form-factor bays accept SAS or SATA drives and ship with trays and screws so you can populate storage immediately. The Smart HBA H240 controller provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1 and 5 support.

Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-socket server with fewer than four cores adds the headroom to run more virtual machines or heavier database instances. The jump is worth it when your current chassis has no free DIMM slots or drive bays and you need room for 1TB of DDR4 across 16 slots. Buyers who need more than eight internal drives or a built-in GPU for graphical workloads should look elsewhere.
