HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 rack server 2x Xeon Bronze 3204 256GB DDR4 no drive

Dual Xeon Bronze server for virtualisation

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets IT teams that need a dense compute platform for virtualisation, container hosts or memory-heavy databases. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P408 SAS controller plus integrated Intel I350/X540 networking with two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced.

Teams needing local storage

This unit ships without any drives installed, so organisations that require immediate boot or data volumes must add SAS SSDs or HDDs separately. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe GPU clearance make it unsuitable for VDI workloads, rendering farms or AI inference tasks that depend on discrete accelerators. Buyers who need single-thread performance above the Bronze tier or more than two processor sockets will need a different chassis.

256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory capacity

The installed 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM is the decisive specification for memory-constrained workloads such as in-memory databases or large VM densities. The platform can scale to 3TB using additional DIMM slots, but the factory configuration fixes the starting point at 256GB. Verify that your application fits within this baseline or budget for a memory upgrade before deployment.
