HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 6-core 48GB DDR4 P440 4GB FBWC 16 SFF bays

HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server

This 2U rack server is built for data-centre workloads that demand compute density and storage flexibility. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4GHz, 48GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an HP Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. Redundant hot-swap 500W power supplies and sixteen 2.5-inch SFF drive bays complete the platform.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

Suits teams that need up to two processors, twenty-four DIMM slots and hardware RAID across a large bay count without occupying more than 2U. Not for buyers who want more storage bays than sixteen SFF slots, who require an operating system pre-installed, or who need GPU-accelerated workloads beyond the integrated Matrox G200eH2 video with 16MB memory.

Smart Array P440 with 4GB FBWC

The installed controller delivers hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 12Gb/s SAS connectivity and flash-backed write cache to protect in-flight data during power loss. It supports the full sixteen-bay population and enables online capacity expansion. If the workload demands a different RAID feature set or external SAS connectivity, a different controller would be required.
