HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U 2× Xeon E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3 GHz 16 GB DDR4 H240ar 8 SFF

Dual twelve-core Xeon server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors. Each CPU provides twelve cores at 2.3 GHz, giving twenty-four physical cores and forty-eight threads with hyper-threading. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across twenty-four DIMM slots. The Smart HBA H240ar controller supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels zero, one, five, six, ten, fifty and sixty.

Suits dense compute workloads

This server suits environments that need high core counts in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters. Redundant hot-swap 500 watt power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who require installed solid-state drives or a pre-loaded operating system should look elsewhere, as the unit ships with eight empty 2.5-inch drive bays and no OS. The Matrox G200 graphics with sixteen megabytes of video memory covers basic console output only.

Twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots

The memory subsystem provides twenty-four slots, twelve per processor, accepting four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two or sixty-four gigabyte DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s. Maximum capacity reaches three terabytes when fully populated with supported registered ECC DIMMs. Actual memory speed depends on the installed processor capability. This slot count and density ceiling are the key figures for planning any memory upgrade.
