HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2698 v4 192GB DDR4 rack server

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server delivered new with a single Xeon E5-2698 v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz and 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives, though no drives are installed in this configuration. An HPE Smart Array P440 controller and dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies are fitted, and remote management is provided by HPE iLO Advanced.

Suits memory-intensive workloads.

This server suits workloads that benefit from a large memory footprint and the twenty cores of the installed Xeon processor, such as virtualization hosts or in-memory databases. The system board accepts a second processor, so buyers who require dual-socket performance from day one should look at alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and dual 10 GbE plus dual 1 GbE network ports handle basic display and connectivity without add-in cards.

192 GB DDR4 installed, expandable to 3 TB

The decisive specification is the 192 GB of DDR4 memory already installed, with a maximum capacity of 3 TB across the available DIMM slots. This ceiling determines whether the platform can grow with your dataset or whether a higher-capacity system is required. Storage capacity is open-ended because the eight drive bays are empty, letting you populate them with SAS drives of any supported size.
