HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 16-Bay Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Storage is handled by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache, connected to two 600 GB 15K 6 Gbps SAS drives installed in the front bays. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies are included.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch

The sixteen small-form-factor bays and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support make this chassis a fit for hypervisor clusters or database nodes that rely on spinning SAS media. The installed CPU pair provides twelve total cores at a modest clock speed, so the system is not aimed at heavily threaded compute or high-frequency single-thread tasks. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, pre-loaded operating systems, or larger memory footprints from day one should evaluate other configurations.

24 DDR4 DIMM slots with 32 GB maximum per module

The platform offers twenty-four slots, twelve per processor, accepting 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s. Actual memory speed depends on the specific Xeon v3 or v4 processor installed. This slot count and module ceiling determine the total memory capacity achievable for the workload.
