HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 64GB DDR4 2× 1TB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 for virtualisation workloads

This HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server ships with two six-core Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The configuration targets small-to-medium virtualisation clusters, database nodes or file-serving roles that benefit from dual-socket parallelism without the cost of higher-frequency CPUs. It is not suited to workloads that demand high single-thread speed or GPU acceleration.

Sustained throughput with FBWC-backed RAID

The Smart Array P440 controller includes 4 GB of flash-backed write cache, allowing write-heavy workloads to maintain consistent latency during extended batch jobs or backup windows. Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the platform online if one unit fails or a circuit is lost. The pair of 1 TB 7.2 K SAS drives deliver steady sequential throughput for logging or archival tasks, though they are not designed for high IOPS databases.

24-bay SFF chassis with room to grow

The 2U rackmount chassis provides 24 small-form-factor SAS drive bays, of which two are populated and the remainder are available for expansion cages or additional drives. An optional rear two-bay cage can be added for boot or cache devices. No optical drive bay is present. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics adapter supplies basic console output only, so remote management via iLO is the primary day-to-day access method.
