HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U Rack Server Dual Xeon 5416s 16-Core 2.00 GHz 256GB DDR5 30.72TB SAS SSD

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U rack server system built for hybrid workloads. It arrives with dual Xeon Gold 5416s 16-core processors running at 2.00 GHz with up to 4.00 GHz turbo. The bundle includes 256GB of DDR5-4800MHz ECC buffered memory and 30.72TB of enterprise SAS SSD storage. Windows Server 2025 Standard is licensed for the 16-core configuration.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This server suits organisations running heavily virtualised environments or large databases that need high core counts and fast SAS storage. The dual-processor design and 256GB DDR5 capacity support dense VM deployments. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere, as no accelerator cards are included. Teams without rack infrastructure or remote-management expertise may find the iLO 6 features underused.

30.72TB Enterprise SAS 12Gb/s SSD array

The storage subsystem provides 30.72TB across four 7.68TB 2.5-inch SAS 12Gb/s SSDs connected to an MR408i-o Gen11 controller with 4GB cache. This all-flash array delivers the throughput and endurance required for transactional databases and high-density virtualisation. Installation of the drives and memory modules is required before deployment.
