HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2670v3 12C 2.3GHz 64GB DDR4 P440 4GB FBWC 24 SFF

24-bay 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes an HP Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies are fitted as standard.

Suits dense storage workloads; not for GPU compute

This configuration suits buyers who need 24 small-form-factor drive bays behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16MB video memory provides only basic console output, so the system is not for workloads that require GPU acceleration or high-resolution remote management video.

Single E5-2670v3 limits core count

The installed processor delivers twelve cores and 24 threads, while the memory subsystem tops out at 64GB with this CPU. Buyers who need more than twelve cores per socket or a larger memory footprint should look at a dual-processor configuration or a server that supports higher-capacity DIMMs.
