HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 512GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF Dual Xeon Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 4LFF rack-mounted server system designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors running at 3.4GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller with a 1GbE 2-port 332T network adapter. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies and HPE iLO remote management come standard.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits buyers building virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-density compute clusters that need large memory capacity and dual-socket performance. It is not for buyers who require pre-installed storage drives, GPU acceleration, 10GbE networking out of the box, or a tower chassis. The integrated graphics and single SAS RAID controller limit its fit for graphics-intensive or multi-array storage deployments.

512GB DDR4 Memory Decides Fit

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the installed 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory across two processors. This capacity supports dense virtual-machine consolidation and in-memory database workloads without additional DIMM purchases. Buyers needing more than 512GB must populate remaining slots up to the 3TB maximum, while those needing less will find the cost per gigabyte fixed by this configuration.
