HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4 GHz 32 GB DDR4 2× 600 GB SAS H240ar

ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors running at 3.4 GHz, providing 12 cores and 24 threads. Memory is populated to 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs across the 24 available slots. Dual 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a Smart HBA H240ar controller handle storage duties.

Suits virtualisation hosts, not GPU workloads

This configuration fits buyers who need high single-thread performance and fast SAS storage in a shallow rack footprint. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of PCIe accelerator support rule it out for rendering, AI training or VDI deployments that require dedicated GPUs. Organisations needing more than 32 GB of memory from day one should also look elsewhere, as the installed DIMMs already occupy the supported maximum for this CPU pair.

Dual Xeon E5-2643 v3 at 3.4 GHz

The two six-core processors set the performance ceiling for every workload on this box. Their 3.4 GHz base clock drives database threads and virtualisation density, while the 12 cores total define the hard limit on concurrent execution. All other specifications — memory capacity, storage speed, expansion headroom — are secondary to this CPU choice.
