HPE 859085-S01 DL380 Gen9 2× Xeon E5-2690 v4 64GB DDR4 8 SFF 2U rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 dual Xeon server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.60 GHz, and 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed as four 16 GB modules. The chassis provides eight small-form-factor bays that accept SATA or SAS drives behind an HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar controller with 2 GB cache and a Smart Storage Battery. Dual 800 W Flex Slot Platinum power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration fits organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a standard 2U footprint. The six PCIe Gen3 slots allow additional network or storage adapters, while the embedded four-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter handles baseline connectivity. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute, higher single-thread frequency or more than eight internal drive bays should evaluate other platforms. The integrated Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16 MB video memory is intended for management console output only.

Eight SFF SATA/SAS bays with P440ar RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the storage subsystem: eight 2.5-inch bays connected to an HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 with a 2 GB flash-backed cache. This determines how many drives you can install internally and which RAID levels are available without adding a separate controller. Maximum memory capacity reaches 768 GB across the 24 DIMM slots when the platform is fully populated.
