HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10B SFF 2x Xeon Platinum 8168 128GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS rack server

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, database hosting and application serving. It ships new with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors totalling 48 cores and 96 threads, 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a P816I-A Smart Array hardware RAID controller. Dual redundant power supplies and four integrated 1Gbps RJ45 ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for consolidation and multi-VM environments

This server suits IT teams consolidating multiple services, running mid-size databases or hosting cloud-native workloads that benefit from high thread counts and ECC memory reliability. The ten hot-swap 2.5-inch bays populated with 600GB 10K SAS drives provide low-latency storage for operating systems, virtual machines and active data sets. It is not for buyers who require GPU compute acceleration or who need more than two processor sockets.

10-bay 2.5-inch SAS storage front end

The single specification that decides fit is the ten-bay 2.5-inch SAS front end with hardware RAID, which fixes both drive form factor and interface for the chassis. Only 2.5-inch SAS drives or compatible SSDs can be added without a chassis change and the onboard P816I-A controller manages the RAID layers. Verify that your replacement or expansion drives match the 2.5-inch SAS form factor before purchase.
