HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10 Bay SFF rack server Xeon Platinum 8168 1TB DDR4 6x 1.2TB SAS

Dual Xeon Platinum 8168 server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors, each running at 2.70GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 1TB of DDR4 memory installed and supports a maximum capacity of 3TB. Six 1.2TB 2.5-inch SAS drives are pre-installed across its ten small-form-factor bays. Integrated graphics and a quad-port NIC with 560FLR-SFP connectivity complete the platform for data-centre deployment.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits IT teams running virtualisation clusters, database engines, ERP suites or heavy application hosting in a rack environment. The dual 24-core CPUs and large memory pool provide headroom for many concurrent virtual machines. Buyers needing more than ten drive bays, NVMe flash tiers, or a GPU-accelerated compute node should evaluate alternative chassis or add-in cards.

10-bay SFF drive cage

The chassis provides exactly ten 2.5-inch hot-plug bays, of which six are populated with 1.2TB SAS drives. Expansion beyond ten drives requires a different backplane or server model. This bay count is the limiting factor for internal storage scaling.
