HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10-bay SFF rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4208 16-core 64GB DDR4 4× 480GB SATA SSD P816i-a

10-bay 2U rack server for virtualization

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount server built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. It ships new with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4208 processors running at 2.10 GHz, giving a combined 16 cores across two sockets. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered memory and a Smart Array P816i-a hardware RAID controller.

Suits virtualization hosts, not GPU workloads

The 10-bay 2.5-inch SFF chassis and included 480 GB SATA SSDs make it a fit for organisations running multiple virtual machines, infrastructure services or database instances on SAS or SATA storage. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or more than ten drive bays should look at a different platform. The installed 64 GB DDR4 supports current workloads while the board allows expansion up to 3 TB.

10-bay SFF chassis with P816i-a controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 10-bay 2.5-inch SFF chassis paired with the P816i-a RAID controller, which manages the four included 480 GB SATA SSDs and any additional SAS or SATA drives you add. This combination determines both storage density and the RAID levels available for your virtualization or data workloads.
