HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2640 v4 768GB RAM rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF dual Xeon server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with ten cores each and 25 MB cache per CPU. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller supporting SATA drives. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch large-form-factor bays and includes dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies with HPE iLO remote management.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads not

This configuration targets virtualization hosts, in-memory databases and compute clusters that benefit from the installed 768 GB DDR4 capacity and twenty total cores. Buyers who need local storage out of the box should look elsewhere because no drives are included and the four-bay chassis limits raw capacity. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or more than two sockets will also need a different platform.

Four 3.5-inch bays define storage ceiling

The 4LFF chassis caps internal drive count at four 3.5-inch SATA or SAS devices connected through the P440 controller. That bay count is the single constraint that decides whether the server can hold the dataset you plan to run.
