HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 64GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 processors, each running at 3.4GHz with six cores. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy in a compact chassis.

Upgrade from single-socket or Gen8 platforms

Moving from a single-processor server doubles the core count to twelve physical cores with 24 threads. The Gen9 platform adds DDR4 memory support and the Smart HBA H240ar controller with 12Gb SAS connectivity. The jump is worth it when workloads need more parallel threads and faster storage throughput than older single-socket or Gen8 systems can deliver.

64GB memory and dual 1TB SAS drives

The installed 64GB matches the maximum capacity supported by the fitted processors, leaving no headroom for expansion without a CPU upgrade. Two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives handle operating system and local data, while the H240ar controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch bays. Memory-intensive virtualisation clusters or large in-memory databases will exceed the current RAM limit.
