HPE DL360 Gen10 8SFF 2x Xeon Silver 4116 256GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

Dual Xeon Silver 4116 server for dense compute

The HPE DL360 Gen10 8SFF arrives with two Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each delivering 12 cores and 16.5 MB cache. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the DIMM slots, and the Smart Array P408 SAS controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Integrated graphics and dual 500 W Flex Slot supplies complete the 1U chassis.

Upgrades from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-processor system or a four- to eight-core Xeon doubles thread count and memory channels, which benefits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-frequency trading workloads. The jump is worth it when licensing costs scale per socket and the 24 combined cores keep core-count licensing efficient. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM or more than two sockets cannot use this platform.

Sustained load behaviour with dual 500 W supplies

Under continuous multi-threaded load the twin Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs maintain 2.1 GHz across all 24 cores, while the P408 controller sustains SAS throughput without thermal throttling. iLO Advanced provides remote power cycling and sensor logging during extended runs. The 1U airflow path relies on front-to-rear cooling; operators must ensure rack inlet temperatures stay within specification.
