HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 192GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz and 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller for storage arrays. Integrated graphics and dual 500 W flex-slot power supplies complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU

This server fits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. The dual six-core Xeon processors and 192 GB DDR4 support multiple virtual machines or container clusters. Buyers who require more than two physical CPUs or memory beyond 3 TB should look elsewhere. Workloads demanding dedicated GPU compute or more than eight drive bays also fall outside this platform.

Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors define compute

The two installed Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs each deliver six cores at 2.4 GHz with 15 MB cache, setting the maximum thread count for the system. No additional processors can be added because the board supports a maximum of two sockets. This fixed CPU configuration determines whether the server meets the performance target for a given application.
