HPE DL380 Gen9 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 256GB DDR4 rack server

High-density 24-bay server for virtualised workloads

The HPE DL380 Gen9 chassis fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack footprint and ships with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a large pool for multi-tenant virtual machines or dense container clusters. Integrated Smart Array P440ar and SAS expander handle RAID duties across the backplane.

Steady throughput under continuous multi-threaded

Dual eight-core CPUs deliver sixteen threads that maintain consistent frequency during prolonged compute tasks such as database indexing or batch rendering. The P440ar controller sustains sequential and random I/O across many spindles or SSDs without the throttling seen on entry-level RAID adapters. Dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE ports keep network queues from backing up when storage traffic spikes.

Redundant 800 W supplies and iLO remote management

Hot-plug Flex Slot power supplies share the load so a single unit failure does not interrupt operation. HPE iLO Advanced gives out-of-band console, power control and firmware update over a dedicated management port. Fans ramp predictably with inlet temperature, keeping acoustic output suitable for a standard server room rather than an office desk.
