HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 768GB DDR4 rack server

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF is a rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads that demand high memory capacity and dual-processor performance. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller for RAID configurations. Remote management is handled through HPE iLO Advanced.

Suits memory-heavy virtualisation and database roles

This server suits environments that need a large DDR4 footprint and dual-socket compute in a 2U rack form factor. It is not for buyers who need drives included, who require 10 Gb networking out of the box, or who need a smaller chassis for shallow racks. The installed 768 GB of DDR4 supports heavy virtualisation, in-memory databases and multi-tenant applications. Flexible configuration options are available through the manufacturer.

768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The single specification that decides fit is the 768 GB of installed DDR4 ECC registered memory across two Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs. This capacity determines whether the system can hold the working set for your workload without paging. The board supports up to 3 TB maximum, so future expansion is possible if the current figure meets immediate needs.
