HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2630 v4 768GB DDR4 rack server

Dual Xeon rack server for dense virtualisation

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits eight 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U chassis and ships with two Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors running at 2.2GHz. Each CPU provides ten cores and 25MB cache, giving twenty threads for parallel workloads. The system includes 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, leaving room to grow towards the 3TB maximum. It is aimed at IT teams consolidating virtual machines or databases on a single rack unit.

Sustained load handling through redundant power

Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies share the load so the platform remains stable during prolonged compute or storage activity. The Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages up to eight drives with hardware RAID, offloading parity calculations from the CPUs. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters deliver two 10GbE and two 1GbE links for steady throughput. HPE iLO Advanced remote management monitors thermal and power metrics continuously, allowing administrators to act before throttling occurs.

768GB DDR4 ECC registered memory decides fit

The installed 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM is the primary constraint for memory-bound applications such as in-memory databases or large hypervisor clusters. Buyers needing more capacity must populate additional DIMM slots up to the 3TB ceiling, while those requiring less cannot reduce the configuration below this amount. No drives are included, so storage capacity and performance must be specified separately.
