HPE ProLiant DL380 G11 2U rack server P52560-B21 Xeon Silver 4410Y 32GB DDR5 8 SFF

HPE ProLiant DL380 G11 2U Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 G11 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y processor running at 2.0 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR5 memory and an MR408i-o 12Gb/s SAS controller driving eight hot-swappable SFF bays. This configuration targets IT teams deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute in standard racks.

Upgrade Path from Single-Socket G10

Adding a second compatible Xeon Silver processor doubles core count and memory channels without changing the chassis. The jump is worth it when workloads saturate the 12 installed cores or when the 32 GB DDR5 limit constrains virtual-machine density. The platform supports up to 8 TB of DDR5 across 32 slots, so memory growth stays in the same form factor.

Rack Depth and Power Budget Checks

Verify that your rack can accommodate the 28.6 inch depth and that the 800 W power supply matches your PDU capacity and redundancy plan. Confirm the operating system in use is among the certified options listed by the manufacturer. Ensure the SAS controller meets the connectivity needs of the intended storage drives.
