HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 6C 128GB DDR4 2x 500GB SATA B140i

ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U server

This 1U rack server fits dense data-centre rows and delivers compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance applications. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure.

Upgrade path from single-socket

Moving from a four-core or dual-socket v2 platform adds six physical cores and twelve threads at a higher base frequency. The jump is worthwhile when workloads need more parallel threads per socket and can use the 2400 MT/s memory bandwidth. A second Xeon v3 processor can be added later to reach 36 total cores across two sockets.

128 GB DDR4 and 2 x 500 GB SATA drives

The installed 128 GB matches the single-processor memory ceiling, leaving no headroom for expansion unless a second CPU is fitted. Two 2.5-inch 7.2K SATA drives on the B140i controller provide RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 for the OS and light application data. Heavier storage I/O demands more drive bays or a hardware RAID card with SAS support.
