HP ProLiant DL360 G7 1U rack server 2×Xeon E5649 2.53GHz 8GB DDR3 640011-005

Compact 1U server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL360 G7 fits two Xeon E5649 processors into a single rack unit, delivering twelve threads at 2.53GHz with 80W each. Eight gigabytes of DDR3 memory ship in two 4GB modules, and the Smart Array P410i controller with 512MB flash-backed write cache manages up to eight drive bays. Dual gigabit adapters provide four network ports for clustered workloads.

Scale-out workloads and virtualisation hosts

This platform suits buyers who need high thread density in minimal rack space for virtualisation, web serving or HPC front ends. The 384GB memory ceiling and eighteen DIMM slots support growth, while mirrored and online-spare modes protect critical data. Buyers who require local storage out of the box should look elsewhere, as no drives are installed. Teams needing newer instruction sets or larger single-thread performance will need a different generation.

Included DVD writer and redundant power

A 12.7mm SATA DVD-RW handles media installs and recovery tasks without occupying a drive bay. Two 460W hot-plug supplies deliver N+1 redundancy, keeping the server running during a module swap. The flash-backed write cache on the P410i preserves in-flight writes during power loss, reducing the risk of array corruption. Windows Server 2008 R2 certification simplifies deployment for legacy environments.
