Rack server with dual Xeon E5-2630v3

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 system is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two eight-core Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 processors running at 2.4GHz, providing 16 physical cores and 32 threads. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across 24 available DIMM slots. The chassis holds 16 small-form-factor drive bays and includes two redundant 500W power supplies.

Suits consolidation and RAID-heavy tasks

Organisations running hypervisors, ERP suites or backup targets will benefit from the Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 1TB 7.2K 6Gbps SAS drives are fitted and trays are included for the remaining bays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-thread frequency above 2.4GHz, or memory capacity beyond 3TB should evaluate alternative platforms.

Smart Array P440 with 4GB FBWC

The onboard Smart Array P440 12Gb/6Gb RAID controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache is the decisive specification for data integrity and array rebuild performance. It enables advanced RAID levels up to RAID 60 and protects cached writes during power loss. Confirm that your backup software and operating system support this controller before deployment.
