HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 8GB DDR4 2× 4TB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz, providing 16 physical cores and 32 threads total. The system includes 8GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart HBA H240ar controller managing two 4TB 7.2K SAS drives in four LFF bays. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits buyers who need a compact rack unit with dual-socket capacity and hardware RAID across high-capacity SAS drives. The 24 DIMM slots allow significant memory expansion up to the processor limit, and the H240ar supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than four drive bays, or an operating system pre-installed should look at other platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 at 2.6GHz

The pair of eight-core Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs defines the processing ceiling for this server. Each processor delivers a base frequency of 2.6GHz and supports DDR4 up to 2400MT/s across 12 memory channels. The installed 8GB uses only two of the 24 available slots, leaving ample room for growth. If the workload demands higher single-thread speed or more than 16 cores per socket, this CPU choice will be the limiting factor.
