HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10+ 1U Rack Server EPYC 7702P 64C 2.0GHz 128GB DDR4 8x2.5

Compact 1U rack server for virtualisation

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10+ fits a single AMD EPYC 7702P with 64 cores at 2.0 GHz into a 1U chassis that holds eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. It ships with 128 GB DDR4 across 16 slots and an HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR controller. Dual 10/25 GbE ports and iLO 5 management are included with redundant 800 W power supplies.

Upgrade from smaller 1U or tower systems

This server replaces older single-socket platforms when core count and memory bandwidth become the bottleneck for consolidation. The jump is worth it when workloads need 64 threads and up to 2 TB DDR4 capacity without expanding beyond 1U of rack space. The P408i-a SR controller adds hardware RAID for SAS or SATA drives.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

Organisations running VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox on a single dense node will benefit from the core density and 128 GB starting memory. Buyers who need more than one processor, GPU acceleration, or pre-installed storage should look at a different platform. The eight-bay limit also rules out large local capacity requirements.
