HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 8SFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 768GB DDR4

Server for virtualised workloads

The HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 rack system arrives with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, ready for consolidation tasks that demand large memory capacity. An HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch SATA drive bays, while integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters provide two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports. Dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies and HPE iLO Advanced remote management complete the platform.

Buyers who need local storage out of the box

This configuration ships without any drives installed, so organisations that require immediate boot or data volumes must add SATA SSDs or HDDs before deployment. The eight-bay chassis limits total raw capacity to the number of 2.5-inch devices it can hold, and the integrated graphics subsystem is intended only for console output, not compute acceleration. Teams that need GPU-accelerated workloads or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Memory ceiling of 1536 GB

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory occupies half the maximum supported capacity of 1536 GB, giving headroom for future expansion without replacing existing modules. This ceiling is the decisive figure for capacity planning: if the target workload fits within 1536 GB the server can grow in place, otherwise a different architecture will be required.
