HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2660V3 256GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF dual Xeon server

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server arrives in an 8SFF chassis supporting up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660V3 processors each deliver 10 cores at 2.6GHz with 25MB cache. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a P440 PCIe SAS controller for RAID management. Integrated graphics handle basic display output while dual 500W power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes needing

The twin 10-core CPUs and 256GB DDR4 suit virtualisation clusters, database workloads and memory-intensive applications that benefit from high core counts and large RAM capacity. The 8SFF bay layout and P440 controller let you populate fast SAS or SATA drives to match I/O demands. Buyers who need pre-installed storage or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere because this configuration ships without drives and maxes out at two CPUs.

256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory capacity

The installed 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification for workloads that must fit within this footprint. The platform supports up to 3TB total when all DIMM slots are populated, allowing future expansion without replacing the base configuration. DDR4 is the only memory generation supported; earlier or later DDR types are physically and electrically incompatible.
