Server role and fit

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute and storage in a 16-bay small-form-factor chassis. A single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory drive virtualization hosts, database nodes, or mixed workloads where hot-swap SAS drives and redundant power keep services online.

Who this suits and who it does not

IT teams needing 16 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 4 GB flash-backed cache, and dual 500 W hot-swap supplies will find the platform ready to deploy. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of memory from day one, more than two installed CPUs, or GPU-accelerated workloads beyond the integrated Matrox G200eH2 should evaluate other configurations.

Deciding specification

The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC supports SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s, delivering the RAID levels and write-cache protection that determine whether this server meets your storage-resilience requirements.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.4 GHz clock speed on the Xeon E5-2643 v3 mean for real-world throughput?

The six cores run at 3.4 GHz base frequency, giving 12 threads with hyper-threading for compute-intensive workloads such as databases or virtualisation hosts.

How does the P440 controller's 12 Gb / 6 Gb SAS interface limit drive performance?

The controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS lanes but the installed 146 GB drives operate at 6 Gb/s, so sustained throughput caps at the drive link speed.

What physical space and power does the 2U chassis need in a rack?

The 2U rackmount chassis occupies two rack units and includes two 500 W hot-swap redundant power supplies for continuous operation.
