HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10-Bay SFF Server

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rack server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.00GHz for multi-threaded performance. 64GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple services and virtual machines. Four 480GB SATA SSDs and a P816i-a controller provide storage for operating systems and business data.

Verify rack space power and drive compatibility

Confirm the 10-bay 2.5-inch SFF chassis fits the available rack unit and that power infrastructure meets dual-processor requirements. The server ships without an operating system so installation media and licences must be prepared. Check that SAS or SATA drives intended for the remaining six bays match the P816i-a controller capabilities. Memory expansion up to 3TB uses DDR4 registered modules only.

Replaces older dual-socket rack servers

The 40-core configuration upgrades from lower-core-count dual-socket platforms when higher virtual-machine density or database throughput is needed. The jump is worth it when current hardware limits concurrent workloads or when SSD speed and hardware RAID reduce storage latency for critical applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than ten drive bays should evaluate other chassis options.

Questions about this item

Does the 10-bay SFF chassis ship with drive caddies or must I order them separately?

The server includes ten 2.5-inch SFF bays and the four installed 480GB SSDs are already mounted in caddies; the six empty bays will need additional caddies if you plan to populate them.

Which memory configuration suits a virtualisation host — the factory 64GB or an upgrade toward the 3TB limit?

Start with the installed 64GB DDR4 for light workloads; add registered DDR4 modules in matched pairs per processor to scale toward the 3TB maximum as VM density grows.

How does the dual Xeon Gold 6138 40-core total translate to real-world virtualisation throughput?

Forty cores at 2.00GHz give ample threads for dense VM placement; pair with the P816i-a RAID controller and SSD storage to keep latency low for database and VDI workloads.
