HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF Xeon E5-2609 v3 384GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, though no drives are installed in this configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This server suits environments that need large memory capacity in a compact rack form factor, such as virtualisation hosts or in-memory databases. The single six-core processor limits compute throughput, so workloads demanding high single-thread performance or many concurrent threads should look elsewhere. Buyers who need redundant processors or GPU acceleration will not find them here.

384GB DDR4 ECC memory installed

The decisive specification is the 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed across the DIMM slots. This amount determines whether the system can hold your working dataset without paging. If your application requires more than 384GB, the platform supports up to 3TB with additional modules. If it requires less, a smaller configuration may reduce cost.
