HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 192GB DDR4

Server Purpose

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a dual-socket rack server equipped with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors at 2.1GHz and 192GB of DDR4 memory. It targets organisations that need a tested, firmware-current platform for virtualisation, database or general compute workloads. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a Smart Array P440 SAS controller plus integrated graphics.

Fit and Gaps

This configuration suits buyers who want a ready-to-rack system with dual CPUs, large ECC memory capacity and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE networking already installed. It does not suit buyers who need drives included, who require GPU acceleration beyond integrated graphics, or who need more than two processor sockets.

Deciding Specification

The installed memory is 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered with a maximum capacity of 3TB across the available slots. This figure determines whether the server can hold your working set or whether a denser memory configuration is required.
