HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U Rack Server E5-2670v3 12C 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

2U Rack Server with 12-Core Xeon

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500 W redundant power supplies are fitted as standard.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation clusters, database servers or compute-intensive applications. The 24-bay SFF chassis and P440 RAID controller provide flexible internal storage options. Buyers who require dual-processor performance from day one or need support for memory capacities beyond 48 GB without adding a second CPU should evaluate other configurations.

Single E5-2670v3 processor installed

The server arrives with one twelve-core Xeon E5-2670v3 installed and supports a maximum of two processors. Adding a second matching CPU doubles the core count to 24 and unlocks the full 3 TB memory limit across all 24 DIMM slots. This single-socket starting point determines both initial performance and the upgrade path for memory and compute scaling.
