HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2670 v3 12-core 2.3 GHz 8 GB DDR4 2×146 GB SAS P440 4 GB FBWC

ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 146 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation in data-centre racks.

Suited for dense virtualisation.

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads, databases or internal applications that benefit from many cores and fast SAS storage in a compact 2U form factor. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics controller is intended only for basic console output, so buyers who need GPU acceleration for compute, rendering or VDI should look at a different platform. The single-socket layout leaves one processor socket available, but the installed 8 GB uses only a fraction of the 24 DIMM slots, so memory-heavy deployments will require additional modules.

Single E5-2670 v3 twelve-core CPU installed

The server arrives with one Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor at 2.3 GHz; the second socket is empty and supports a matching second CPU to double the core count. This single-socket starting point defines the baseline performance and licensing scope for most hypervisor and database workloads.
