HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 8GB DDR4 2× 146GB SAS H240ar

Dense 1U compute platform

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors, each with twelve cores at 2.3 GHz. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots, and the system ships with two 146 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drives. A Smart HBA H240ar controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, while dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies deliver redundancy.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This server suits teams that need high core density in a single rack unit for virtualisation clusters, database workloads or compute-intensive applications. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis and 12 Gb SAS controller support further drive expansion. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of memory out of the box or who require GPU acceleration should look at other configurations, as the integrated Matrox G200 provides only basic display output.

Dual 12-core Xeon E5-2670 v3

The pair of twelve-core processors delivers 24 physical cores and 48 threads with hyper-threading, defining the raw compute capacity available for multi-threaded workloads. Memory speed is tied to the processor capability, running DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s, and the 24 slots allow growth to the platform maximum. This CPU specification is the primary factor in deciding whether the system meets your performance target.
