ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across sixteen small-form-factor drive bays. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies are included.

Suited for dense storage arrays; not for GPU compute

This configuration suits buyers who need many drive bays and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint. The sixteen 2.5-inch bays and P440 controller support large SAS arrays for databases or virtualisation storage. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16MB video memory provides only basic console output, so the server is not for workloads that require GPU acceleration or high-performance 3D rendering.

Memory ceiling fixed at 128GB

The installed 128GB of DDR4 memory matches the maximum capacity listed for this specific unit. All twenty-four DIMM slots are populated to reach this total, leaving no room for further memory expansion without removing existing modules. Buyers whose applications need more than 128GB of RAM must look at a different configuration or a platform that supports a higher limit.
