HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server 1x Xeon E5-2650v4 2.2GHz 12C 384GB DDR4 no drive

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and compute workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2650v4 processor running at 2.2GHz with 12 cores and 30MB cache. The system includes 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. A Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays supporting SATA and SAS media. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies and iLO Advanced remote management come standard.

Suits memory-intensive workloads.

This configuration suits buyers who need large memory capacity for in-memory databases, virtualisation hosts or high-performance computing. The 384GB DDR4 fits memory-bound applications that exceed typical dual-socket limits. Buyers who want local storage must add drives separately as no drives are installed. The single processor leaves one socket empty for future expansion but limits current thread count to 24. Organisations needing GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory decides fit

The installed 384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is the specification that determines whether this server matches the workload. Memory capacity and type are fixed in this listing; the platform supports up to 3TB total across 24 slots using DDR4 only. Verify the application requires registered ECC DDR4 modules before purchase. The P440 controller and eight 2.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives added later.
