HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 2x Xeon Gold 5218R 128GB DDR4 rack server

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 dual Xeon server

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218R processors running at 2.1 GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P408 SAS controller plus Intel I350/X540 networking with two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced and dual 500W flex-slot power supplies provide redundancy.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This configuration suits organisations that need a dense two-socket platform for virtualisation, database or general compute workloads with integrated 10 GbE connectivity. Buyers who want more storage capacity than eight 2.5-inch bays provide should consider a different chassis. Teams requiring GPU acceleration for AI or rendering will need a server with PCIe slots and power budget for discrete cards.

Single specification that decides fit

The server installs two Xeon Gold 5218R CPUs, each delivering 20 cores at 2.1 GHz with 27.5 MB cache, giving 40 cores total in a 2U rack form factor. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across the DDR4 slots when fully populated. If the workload demands more than 40 cores or memory beyond 3 TB, this platform will not meet the requirement.
