HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2698v3 768GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF dual Xeon server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 arrives in an 8SFF rack chassis populated with two Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz. Sixteen cores per socket deliver thirty-two threads for virtualization hosts, database nodes or compute clusters. Seven hundred sixty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory fill the DIMM slots, and a Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages the drive bays.

Suits dense memory workloads.

This configuration targets buyers who need maximum memory capacity in a 2U footprint — in-memory analytics, virtual desktop infrastructure or large VM counts. The eight 2.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives but leave no room for additional internal disks, so buyers who want more storage bays should look at a different chassis. Integrated graphics and dual 500W power supplies handle basic video and redundancy without extra parts.

768GB DDR4 ECC registered memory decides fit

The installed 768GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is the single specification that determines whether this server matches the workload. Applications sized for this exact capacity can deploy immediately; workloads that require less memory still pay for the full population, while those that need the 3TB maximum must add modules and verify qualified DIMM rankings.
