HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server Dual Xeon 5416s 16-Core 2GHz 512GB DDR5 61.44TB SAS SSD

ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U rack server built for hybrid environments that need scalable compute and storage. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 5416s processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.00 GHz with a 4.00 GHz turbo ceiling, and 512 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC buffered memory across 16 modules. The bundle includes 61.44 TB of enterprise SAS 12Gb/s SSD capacity on eight 7.68 TB drives, a Windows Server 2022 Standard licence, redundant power supplies, iLO 6 remote management and a rail kit. Memory and drives are supplied separately and require installation.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running large databases or operating mixed workloads that benefit from high core counts and massive flash capacity. The dual-socket design, PCIe Gen5 lanes and hot-swappable redundant power supplies support continuous operation in a 2U footprint. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or a tower form factor cannot use this chassis. Workloads that demand memory beyond 512 GB or storage beyond 61.44 TB will exceed the supplied specification.

512 GB DDR5-4800 memory capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the installed memory ceiling of 512 GB DDR5-4800 across 16 DIMM slots. If the target applications require more addressable memory than this limit, the server cannot meet the requirement without a different configuration. The eight 2.5-inch SAS SSD bays and dual Xeon 5416s processors are fixed by the bundle, so memory capacity is the decisive constraint for workload sizing.
