HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 192GB DDR4

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF Server

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server ships with two Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors running at 3.4GHz and 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives managed by an HPE Smart Array P440 controller. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters provide two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports, while dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundancy. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced with firmware updated to the latest stable version.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

The dual six-core Xeons and large DDR4 capacity suit virtualisation hosts, database servers and compute-intensive applications that benefit from high clock speeds. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 3TB should consider a different platform. The eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS layout fits environments using SAS HDDs or SSDs, while workloads demanding a different drive interface or higher drive counts will require another chassis.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with P440 controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 8SFF chassis combined with the P440 SAS RAID controller, which limits internal storage to eight 2.5-inch SAS devices. If your deployment requires more bays, a different drive interface or a controller with additional ports, this server will not meet that requirement.
