HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240

HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server designed for general-purpose workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Dual 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives and an H240 Smart HBA provide RAID 0, 1 or 5 capability in an eight-bay SFF chassis.

Suitable for balanced compute and storage density

This server suits organisations needing a compact rack platform with redundant hot-swap power and room to grow to two processors. It is not for buyers who need installed solid-state drives, dedicated graphics processing, or a pre-loaded operating system. Builders requiring more than sixteen DIMM slots or a GPU beyond the integrated Matrox G200 should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 at 2.3 GHz

The installed processor delivers ten cores and twenty threads via hyper-threading at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz. A second socket is available to double core count up to thirty-six total cores across two CPUs. Memory speed scales with the processor capability up to 2400 MT/s across sixteen DDR4 slots. This CPU choice defines the performance ceiling for virtualisation, cloud or database tasks.
