HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2643 v3 384GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processor running at 3.4GHz with six cores and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies and HPE iLO Advanced remote management are installed.

Suited for memory-heavy tasks.

This configuration suits virtualization hosts, in-memory databases and compute clusters that benefit from the large 384GB DDR4 footprint and the 3.4GHz clock speed. The single-socket layout leaves one processor socket free for future expansion up to the two-processor maximum. Buyers who need extensive local storage should look elsewhere because no drives are installed and the eight-bay chassis is limited to 2.5-inch SATA or SAS media. Workloads requiring discrete GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics.

384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification for this server. It determines whether the system can hold the working set of your applications without paging. The memory type is DDR4 and no other generation is compatible. Confirm that your workload fits within this capacity and that the registered ECC modules match your replacement or upgrade plans.
