HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 6-core 96GB DDR4 H240ar 4 LFF

HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz and 96GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports a second processor for up to 36 total cores and includes redundant 500W hot-swap power supplies. A Smart HBA H240ar controller provides RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across four LFF drive bays.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits teams needing a compact rack unit with high core density and large memory capacity for virtualisation or database workloads. Buyers who require installed storage drives, an operating system, or GPU acceleration beyond the Matrox G200 should look elsewhere. The four LFF bays limit internal capacity compared to SFF configurations, and the single CPU leaves half the memory slots unpopulated until a second processor is added.

Memory ceiling decided by processor count

The installed 96GB of DDR4 already reaches the maximum supported by a single E5-2643v3 processor. Adding the second supported CPU unlocks the full 3TB capacity across 24 DIMM slots. This hard limit makes processor count the single specification that determines whether the system can grow to meet future memory demands.
