HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 512GB DDR4

Dual-socket Xeon E5-2680v4 server for virtualization

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF chassis holds two Xeon E5-2680v4 processors, each with 14 cores at 2.4GHz and 35MB cache, plus 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets IT teams consolidating virtual machines, databases or high-throughput applications in a 2U rack form factor. The P440 SAS controller and eight 2.5-inch drive bays let you add the exact storage mix the workload demands.

Sustained multi-thread throughput with dual CPUs

With both 14-core processors active, the system maintains steady performance across long-running compute jobs such as database indexing, render farms or container clusters. The 35MB cache per socket reduces memory latency during extended passes, while the 512GB DDR4 capacity keeps large working sets in RAM without swapping. Dual 500W Flex Slot supplies share the load so neither rail is stressed during continuous operation.

Thermal stability and remote oversight

Redundant 500W power supplies and the Gen9 thermal design keep inlet temperatures steady under typical data-centre airflow, avoiding throttle cycles during multi-hour runs. Fans ramp gradually rather than spiking, so acoustic output stays predictable in shared rack rows. HPE iLO Advanced provides out-of-band sensor telemetry, power capping and firmware updates without needing host OS access.
