HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 Tower Server Xeon E-2314 4-Core 2.8GHz 32GB DDR4 8TB SSD

Compact Xeon tower for small offices

The HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 is a new tower server built around a Xeon E-2314 four-core processor running at 2.8 GHz with a 4.5 GHz turbo ceiling. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in two 16 GB modules and an operating system licence for Windows Server 2022 Standard. The platform targets small businesses that need on-premise compute and storage without a rack footprint.

8 TB SATA SSD array and 32 GB DDR4 headroom

Four 2 TB SATA III 6 Gb/s SSDs provide 8 TB of solid-state capacity managed by a Smart Array VROC controller, delivering fast access for databases, file shares or backup targets. The 32 GB DDR4 PC4-25600 configuration handles typical virtualisation workloads and multi-user services; memory-intensive applications or larger consolidation ratios will exhaust this headroom and require additional DIMMs.

Steps up from entry NAS or older MicroServer units

This system replaces basic network-attached storage boxes that lack hypervisor support or servers limited to dual-core CPUs and mechanical drives. The jump is worthwhile when workloads demand hardware RAID, four gigabit ports, dedicated iLO remote management and a licensed hypervisor host. Buyers who need more than four drive bays, 10 GbE networking or redundant power supplies should look elsewhere.
