ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 146 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC. Dual 500 W redundant power supplies provide high availability for data-centre workloads.

Suited For General Compute And Virtualisation

This server suits organisations needing a dense 2U platform for virtualisation, database or general compute tasks using SAS storage. The 16 SFF bays and 24 DIMM slots allow significant internal expansion. Buyers who require GPU compute capability should note the only graphics adapter is a Matrox G200eH2. Those needing more than 32 GB of memory or faster storage interfaces than 6 Gbps SAS must add components or choose a different platform.

Smart Array P440 With 4 GB FBWC

The installed Smart Array P440 controller provides 4 GB of flash-backed write cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 over 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps SAS links. This cache capacity protects write data during power loss and directly determines the performance ceiling for the two 146 GB drives and any additional SAS devices. Verify that the controller feature set matches the application's redundancy and throughput requirements before purchase.
