HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2670 v3 12-core 2.3GHz 4GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand reliability and expandability. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 4GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives and an H240ar controller provide hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 from day one. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies keep the platform running through a module failure.

Suits buyers needing dense 3.5-inch SAS storage

This server fits teams that want twelve large-form-factor bays for SAS drives and the option to grow to two processors with up to 36 total cores. The 24 DIMM slots support DDR4 ECC registered modules up to 2400MT/s, so memory can scale with the workload. Buyers who need a smaller chassis, integrated GPU compute, or a pre-installed operating system should look at other platforms.

Single-socket E5-2670 v3 with twelve cores at 2.3GHz

The installed processor delivers twelve physical cores and twenty-four threads via hyper-threading at a base frequency of 2.3GHz. A second socket is empty and ready for an identical Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 chip to double the core count. This CPU choice determines the maximum memory speed and the virtualisation density the platform can achieve.
