HP ProLiant DL380 G9 24B SFF 2U rack server E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 146GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

2U rack server for virtualisation

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 delivers a twelve-core Xeon E5-2670 v3 at 2.3GHz and 48GB of DDR4 ECC memory in a 2U chassis. Twenty-four SFF drive bays and a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Suited to consolidation workloads needing SAS

This configuration fits businesses running virtualised databases or legacy applications that rely on 15K SAS spindles and hardware RAID. Buyers who need solid-state boot volumes, GPU acceleration or more than a single processor should evaluate other platforms because the installed drives are mechanical and only one CPU socket is populated.

Single E5-2670 v3 limits maximum core count

The server ships with one twelve-core processor while the board supports two, capping the current core total at twelve physical and twenty-four logical threads. Adding a second compatible Xeon would double that ceiling, but the installed 48GB of DDR4 already reaches the per-processor memory limit for this CPU.
