HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 768GB DDR4 rack server

Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rackmount server populated with two Xeon E5-2680v4 processors running at 2.4GHz, each providing 14 cores and 35MB cache. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller supporting eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or multi-threaded application tiers. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute, single-socket density or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms because the chassis and backplane are designed around dual-socket Xeon architecture and SAS/SATA connectivity.

768GB DDR4 installed memory

The single specification that determines fit-for-purpose is the 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed across the available DIMM slots. This capacity supports dense virtual machine consolidation or large dataset caching without immediate expansion, while the platform maximum reaches 3TB for future growth.
