HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U Rack Server 2×E5-2670v3 32GB DDR4 2×300GB SAS H240ar

Dense 1U compute node

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for space-constrained environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 processors, each providing twelve cores at 2.3 GHz. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twenty-four DIMM slots. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and an H240ar controller with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 handle storage. Redundant 500 W hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Virtualisation hosts and database tiers

This configuration suits workloads that need high core density and fast local SAS storage in a single rack unit. The forty-eight threads and 32 GB installed memory fit virtualisation clusters or mid-size database instances. Buyers who need larger memory footprints up to 3 TB or more than four drive bays should evaluate other chassis. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of GPU slots also rule out GPU-accelerated tasks.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

Under continuous load both Xeon processors maintain their 2.3 GHz base frequency across all twelve cores. The 15K SAS drives deliver consistent IOPS for random read/write patterns without the latency spikes seen in consumer SSDs. Redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive bays allow component replacement without downtime. The H240ar controller offloads parity calculations, keeping CPU cycles available for application threads.
