HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 512GB DDR4

ProLiant DL360 Gen9 4LFF dual Xeon

This HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz. Each CPU provides 22 cores and 55 MB of cache, giving 44 cores in total. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and can be expanded to 768 GB. A Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages up to four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Integrated graphics and dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies complete the base configuration. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced.

Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads

The 44-core layout and half-terabyte of memory make this server a good fit for heavy virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-thread-count compute tasks. Buyers who need more than four 3.5-inch drive bays or who require a different drive interface should look at a different platform. The fixed two-processor maximum also means the CPU count cannot be increased beyond the pair already installed.

P440 SAS controller with four 3.5-inch bays

Storage attaches through the onboard HPE Smart Array P440 PCIe SAS controller, which presents four 3.5-inch SATA hot-plug bays. No drives are included, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA disks or SSDs. This single controller and bay count is the deciding factor for whether the chassis meets a given storage design.
