HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 64GB DDR4

12-bay 3.5-inch rack server for virtualisation

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 chassis holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives and ships with dual Xeon E5-2680v4 processors at 2.4 GHz, each offering 14 cores and 35 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed, expandable to 3 TB. An integrated P440ar SAS controller with expander manages RAID across the bays, while dual 800 W hot-plug supplies provide redundancy.

Suits consolidation workloads needing dense local

This configuration targets organisations running hypervisors, databases or file services that benefit from many high-capacity spindles in a 2U footprint. Buyers who need solid-state latency, GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed network adapters deliver two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for flexible connectivity.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define storage density

The chassis supports a maximum of twelve large-form-factor drives, setting the upper bound for raw capacity and spindle count. No drives are included, so the buyer selects SATA or SAS media to match performance and budget requirements. This single constraint determines whether the platform fits the intended dataset size.
