HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1 TB 7.2 K SAS drives and an H240ar controller provide RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies add redundancy.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

The 24 DIMM slots and dual-processor capability suit virtualisation hosts or database nodes that may grow beyond the single CPU. Buyers who need NVMe boot drives or more than eight 2.5-inch bays without adding extra cages should look elsewhere. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics only covers basic console output, so GPU compute tasks are not supported.

Sustained load runs on redundant 500 W supplies

Under continuous load the redundant 500 W power supplies share current to maintain uptime if one unit fails. The H240ar controller manages 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA traffic across the installed drives without a battery-backed cache. Eight SFF bays allow further SAS or SATA expansion for capacity scaling.
