Purpose-built virtualization server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount server system configured with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors and 128GB of DDR4 memory. It includes two 1.2TB 2.5-inch SAS drives and a quad-port network adapter for connectivity. This unit is intended for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting in data centres or server rooms.

Suited for dense virtualization; not for GPU compute

This server suits IT teams running many virtual machines or memory-heavy applications that benefit from 24 cores per processor and large DDR4 capacity. The 10-bay SFF chassis supports additional hot-plug drives for local storage growth. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering or high-performance computing should look elsewhere because the graphics subsystem is integrated only.

Dual Platinum 8168 CPUs decide fit

The installed pair of Xeon Platinum 8168 processors delivers 24 cores each at 2.70GHz, fixing the compute ceiling for every workload on this box. Memory can scale to 3TB across DDR4 slots, but the processor configuration cannot be upgraded beyond the two sockets already populated. Confirm that your licensing, threading and single-thread performance needs match this specific CPU before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with rails, power cords, or an operating system, or must those be purchased separately?

The unit includes the chassis with two processors, 128GB DDR4 memory, and two 1.2TB 2.5-inch SAS drives; rails, power cords, and an operating system are not included and must be sourced separately.

With two Platinum 8168 CPUs already installed and a 28-core maximum per socket, is there any processor upgrade headroom?

Both processor sockets are occupied by Platinum 8168 CPUs, each with 24 cores; the platform supports up to 28 cores per socket, so a future upgrade to higher-core-count Xeon Scalable processors is possible.

How does the 128GB DDR4 configuration perform when running multiple virtual machines on this dual-socket server?

With 128GB DDR4 spread across two sockets, the server can host a solid number of virtual machines for typical business workloads, and memory can be expanded up to 3TB total if demand grows.
