HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10B SFF 2x 24-Core Xeon Platinum 8160 128GB DDR4 Rack Server

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10B SFF Server

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 rack server delivers dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors with 24 cores each at 2.10GHz. It provides 48 total cores and 96 threads for demanding business workloads. The 2U form factor fits standard data centre racks and includes ten 2.5-inch drive bays for flexible storage configuration. It targets IT teams running virtualization, databases, and application hosting in mid-size environments.

Sustained load behaviour

The dual Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration maintains consistent throughput across 48 cores and 96 threads during extended virtualization or simulation tasks. 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large working sets without swapping under continuous pressure. Dual redundant power supplies and the integrated P816i-a Smart Array controller with 8+2 configuration keep storage and compute available during prolonged operation. Four integrated 1Gbps RJ45 ports handle steady network traffic without adding discrete adapters.

Upgrade path from single-socket

This server replaces single-socket systems or dual-socket boxes with fewer than 20 cores per processor when workloads exceed their thread capacity. The jump is worth it when concurrent VMs, database instances, or simulation jobs saturate existing cores and memory channels. Buyers who need more than 3TB of total memory or require GPU acceleration for compute workloads should evaluate platforms with additional expansion slots and higher memory limits. Organizations locked into 1U chassis constraints will not fit this 2U rackmount design.
