HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server dual Xeon 5416s 16-core 2.00 GHz 256GB 30.72TB

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U rackmount server system built for hybrid environments. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 5416s processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.00 GHz with turbo up to 4.00 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC buffered memory across eight 32 GB modules. Storage is provided by four 7.68 TB enterprise SATA SSDs totalling 30.72 TB, managed by an MR408i-o Gen11 controller with 4 GB cache. Windows Server 2022 Standard is licensed for 16 cores.

Suited for virtualised workloads

This server suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or multiple simultaneous applications that benefit from dual-socket Xeon Scalable performance and DDR5 bandwidth. The 2U form factor balances expandability with rack density. Hot-swappable redundant power supplies allow replacement without downtime. Remote management is handled through integrated iLO 6 with Intelligent Provisioning. Buyers who need higher core density per socket, different storage interfaces or higher-speed networking onboard should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon 5416s 16-core 2.00 GHz processors

The defining specification is the dual Xeon Gold 5416s configuration delivering 32 total cores at 2.00 GHz base frequency with 4.00 GHz turbo capability. This processor choice determines the server's compute ceiling for virtualisation density and application throughput. The 30 MB cache per processor supports memory-intensive tasks. Memory capacity of 256 GB across eight DDR5 slots sets the current RAM limit. The four-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD arrangement fixes the internal storage topology at 30.72 TB.
