HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server dual Xeon 4410y 12-core 2.00 GHz 1TB DDR5 15.36TB SATA SSD

Enterprise hybrid server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U rack server built for hybrid environments, combining dual Xeon Silver 4410y 12-core processors at 2.00 GHz with 1TB of DDR5-4800 ECC memory and 15.36TB of enterprise SATA SSD capacity. It targets organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or multiple simultaneous applications that demand scalable bandwidth and robust security features. The chassis includes redundant power supplies, an embedded 4-port 1GbE OCP3 adapter, an MR408i-o storage controller with 4GB cache and iLO 6 remote management.

Suits virtualisation density not GPU compute

This platform suits IT teams consolidating virtual machines or hosting memory-intensive databases where the 1TB DDR5 configuration and dual 12-core CPUs provide high thread counts and large memory bandwidth. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, additional PCIe Gen5 expansion beyond the supplied controller or a smaller 1U form factor should look at other platforms. The hot-swap redundant power supplies also favour environments that cannot tolerate downtime during hardware maintenance.

1TB DDR5-4800 ECC memory decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 1TB (16 x 64GB) DDR5-4800MHz PC5-38400 ECC buffered memory kit included in the bundle. Workloads that require this memory capacity and error-correcting reliability will benefit immediately, while deployments needing less memory or a different memory speed will find the configuration overspecified. Hard drives and memory upgrades arrive separately and require installation before deployment.
