HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2609 v3 256GB DDR4 rack server

Purpose-built compute platform

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor running at 1.9 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives served by an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller with SATA connectivity. Integrated graphics and dual 500 W flex-slot power supplies complete the baseline configuration for immediate deployment.

Ideal for memory-heavy workloads.

Virtualisation hosts, database nodes and application servers that benefit from the large 256 GB DDR4 footprint will fit this platform well. The single-socket layout leaves a second processor socket open for future expansion, while iLO Advanced provides full remote management. Buyers who need dual-socket performance from day one, dedicated GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate alternative configurations.

The 256 GB DDR4 memory capacity is the deciding

This specific unit ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM installed, reaching roughly one-twelfth of the 3 TB maximum the platform supports. If the target workload fits comfortably inside that memory envelope, the server is ready to run; if the application demands significantly more memory at launch, additional DIMMs must be sourced before the system goes live.
