HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server 2× Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6GHz 384GB DDR4 no drives

Eight-bay rack server with dual Xeon processors

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors running at 1.6 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without drives and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller, dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies, iLO Advanced remote management, and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card delivering two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE links.

Suits workloads that need high memory capacity

Buyers who want more storage than eight 2.5-inch bays provide or who require a different drive interface than SATA or SAS should look at other platforms. Organisations that need GPU acceleration or a single-socket design will not match this dual-processor configuration. The server targets virtualisation, database, and general-purpose compute tasks where memory density and out-of-band management are priorities.

Memory capacity of 384 GB DDR4 decides fit

The installed 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory sets the immediate working set size and determines whether the system can handle the intended consolidation ratio. The chassis supports up to 3 TB, so the configuration can grow, but the starting point is fixed at 384 GB and uses DDR4 modules only.
