HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 8GB DDR4 2× 600GB SAS H240ar

Dual Xeon E5-2630v3 2U server for compute clusters

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server ships with two eight-core Xeon E5-2630v3 processors running at 2.4GHz, delivering 32 logical threads. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across 24 DIMM slots. Two 600GB 15K SAS drives connect to a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies and 12 large-form-factor drive bays complete the 2U chassis.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

The 32 logical threads and 15K SAS storage suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes and general compute clusters needing high core counts and fast rotational media. Buyers who require dedicated graphics acceleration or large GPU memory should look elsewhere because the integrated Matrox G200eH2 provides only basic display output. Organisations needing more than 8GB of memory from day one must plan additional DDR4 modules.

Smart HBA H240ar RAID controller decides storage

The Smart HBA H240ar controller is the single specification that determines which RAID levels are available and how the 12 LFF bays can be populated. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS and SATA drives. Confirm the controller matches your storage redundancy and capacity requirements before purchase.
