HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 8LFF rack server 1x Xeon Silver 4210 128GB DDR4

Server identity

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that need high internal storage density. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2 GHz, 10 cores and 13.75 MB cache, plus 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P408 SAS controller for RAID management.

Who this suits and who it does not

This configuration fits organisations that want a tested, firmware-current platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving tasks and plan to add their own SATA or SAS drives. Buyers who need a second processor, GPU acceleration, a smaller tower form factor or pre-installed boot drives should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and dual 500 W power supplies cover basic display and redundancy needs without extra parts.

Deciding specification

The single Xeon Silver 4210 installed today leaves one processor socket open, so the system can scale to two CPUs when compute demand grows. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across the remaining DIMM slots, giving a clear upgrade path for memory-heavy applications. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced for out-of-band control.
