Rack server with dual EPYC 9115 processors

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 P83036-005 is a 2U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with two AMD EPYC 9005 Series 9115 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with 16 cores and 64 MB L3 cache. The system includes 256 GB of HPE DDR5 Smart Memory at 6400 MT/s across eight 32 GB modules. Two 480 GB SATA SSDs and dual 800 W power supplies are pre-installed.

Suited for memory-heavy tasks.

This server suits environments that need high memory capacity and dual-socket compute density in a 2U form factor. The 256 GB DDR5 configuration supports virtualization, database caching, and multi-threaded applications. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, faster storage interfaces than SATA 6G, or processor counts beyond two sockets should evaluate alternative configurations.

Storage limited to eight SFF bays

The HPE MR408i-o Gen11 storage controller provides x8 lanes and 4 GB cache for the eight small-form-factor bays. Only two 480 GB SATA read-intensive SSDs are installed, leaving six bays open for expansion. The controller and bay count define the maximum internal storage devices this chassis can support without additional controllers or enclosures.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the dual EPYC 9115 configuration or a single-processor alternative?

The server arrives with two EPYC 9115 processors already installed, each delivering 16 cores at 2.6 GHz, and the chassis supports a maximum of two sockets so there is no single-processor version of this SKU.

What does the 2.6 GHz clock speed mean for actual workload performance?

Each of the 32 total cores runs at a base frequency of 2.6 GHz with a default TDP of 125 W per processor, providing predictable throughput for general-purpose tasks without relying on turbo behaviour.

How does the SATA 6G interface limit the installed 480 GB SSDs in practice?

The two 480 GB SATA 6G read-intensive drives connect through the MR408i-o controller at the SATA 6 Gbps link rate, so sequential throughput is capped by the SATA interface rather than the controller's PCIe lanes.
