HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 4-bay LFF rack server dual E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 8GB 2x 300GB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute in space-constrained racks. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch LFF drive bays and includes two 300 GB 15K SAS drives. A Smart HBA H240ar controller handles RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA links.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or render farms that benefit from 16 physical cores and 32 threads within a single rack unit. The 8 GB base memory is a starting point; the board offers 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 3 TB of DDR4. Buyers who need more storage bays than four LFF slots or who require GPU acceleration beyond the integrated Matrox G200 should look at larger chassis or GPU-ready platforms.

Sustained load with redundant power and hot-swap

Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies and redundant fans keep the system running during component failure or maintenance. The 15K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for random I/O workloads without the latency spikes seen in burst-oriented storage. The H240ar controller offloads parity calculations for RAID 5, 6, 50 and 60, preserving CPU cycles for application threads during prolonged rebuilds or heavy write streams.
