HPE DL380 Gen9 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 256GB rack server

24-bay SAS chassis with dual 22-core Xeons

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server arrives with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 24 SFF drive bays accept 2.5-inch SAS drives and are managed by a Smart Array P440ar controller with an expander. Dual 800 W hot-plug power supplies and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card provide 2 x 10 GbE and 2 x 1 GbE connectivity. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced.

Suits dense virtualisation and in-memory workloads

The 44 physical cores and 55 MB cache per processor support heavily threaded applications such as database engines, virtualisation hosts and high-performance computing tasks. Organisations that require direct-attached storage using interfaces other than SAS or need discrete GPU acceleration should consider alternative platforms, as this unit offers only SAS drive connectivity and integrated graphics.

3 TB maximum DDR4 capacity defines upgrade scope

With 256 GB installed across 24 DIMM slots, the system can scale to 3 TB of DDR4 memory when fully populated. This ceiling determines whether the server can accommodate future growth for memory-intensive workloads or if a platform with a higher memory limit is required.
