HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10B SFF 2x Xeon Platinum 8168 512GB DDR4 rack server

Enterprise Virtualization Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount system equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors delivering 48 cores and 96 threads. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 3TB total capacity. Ten 2.5-inch small-form-factor drive trays and an integrated P816I-A Smart Array controller provide flexible storage options. Dual redundant power supplies and four 1Gbps RJ45 ports complete the baseline configuration for data-centre deployment.

Suited For Multi-Threaded Workloads

This server targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances, ERP systems or AI inference tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory footprints. The 2.10GHz base frequency and 10-bay chassis also support mixed storage tiers. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute, more than ten internal drive bays, or higher single-thread frequencies should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification: 48 Cores And 512GB DDR4

The combination of 48 physical cores across two Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs and 512GB of DDR4 memory defines the capacity ceiling for concurrent virtual machines, container density and in-memory database performance. If the workload demands more threads or memory than this configuration supplies, a larger chassis or additional nodes will be necessary.
