HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2690 v4 64GB DDR4

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12-bay rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 12-bay 3.5-inch rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each offering 14 cores and 35 MB cache. Installed memory is 64 GB DDR4 ECC registered, expandable to 3 TB. The storage controller combines an HP Smart Array P440ar with a SAS expander for SATA drives.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits teams that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity and dual-socket compute in a 2U chassis. The integrated iLO Advanced remote management simplifies fleet operations. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or a smaller tower form factor should look at other platforms.

12 large-form-factor drive bays define the storage

The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives behind the P440ar controller, setting the maximum raw capacity for this unit. No drives are included, so the buyer selects the exact spindle or SSD mix required. This bay count is the single constraint that determines whether the server matches the planned storage footprint.
