HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2x E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 8GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

Dual Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4 GHz

This 2U rack server ships with two six-core Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors running at 3.4 GHz. It targets IT teams that need a dense, redundant platform for virtualization, database or compute workloads in a standard cabinet. The chassis provides hot-swap power supplies and eight small-form-factor drive bays for internal storage growth.

Upgrade from single-socket or older E5 v2 systems

Moving from a single-socket box or a previous-generation E5 v2 server adds a second processor and doubles the core count to twelve physical cores with twenty-four threads. The jump is worth it when licensing, memory bandwidth or parallel throughput demand the extra socket and the higher 3.4 GHz base frequency.

8 GB DDR4 with 24 DIMM slots

The system arrives with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory spread across twenty-four slots, twelve per processor. That capacity handles light hypervisor or test environments immediately. Heavy production databases, large VM clusters or in-memory analytics will require populating additional slots up to the platform maximum.
