HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2670v3 12C 2.3GHz 8GB DDR4 2× 1TB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

Dual Xeon E5-2670v3 12-core server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 processors, each providing twelve cores at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twenty-four DIMM slots and a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies are included.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density.

This configuration suits environments that benefit from high thread counts such as virtualisation hosts, database servers or multi-threaded application tiers. The integrated Matrox G200eH2 graphics and lack of PCIe GPU details make it unsuitable for workloads requiring dedicated compute acceleration or 3D rendering. Buyers who need more storage bays or higher single-thread frequency should look at alternative platforms.

2× 1 TB SAS drives with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60

Two 1 TB 7.2K 2.5-inch SAS drives provide a starting mirrored volume or striped capacity, while the P440 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to sixteen SFF bays. Memory can scale to 3 TB using 64 GB DDR4 modules at 2400 MT/s per slot. The sixteen-bay chassis and dual-processor design give headroom for additional drives and CPU upgrades within the same generation.
