HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 8LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 64GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Server Purpose

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache, plus 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need a configurable 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis for virtualisation, database or file workloads. The unit ships with a Smart Array P408 SAS controller and dual 500W power supplies, while drives are ordered separately.

Fit and Gaps

This platform suits teams that want a tested, firmware-current server with integrated 10GbE and 1GbE networking and remote management through iLO Advanced. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration or all-flash high-speed storage performance should evaluate alternative platforms. Organisations needing more than two sockets or memory beyond the 3TB ceiling will also need a different architecture.

Deciding Specification

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch large-form-factor bays served by the Smart Array P408 SAS controller with SATA drive support, so the number and type of drives you populate directly determines total capacity and throughput.
