HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 – 2U Rack Server, 2× Xeon Gold 6248R, 192GB RAM

Virtualization hosts, database servers and business-critical applications require a 2U rack server with high compute density and hardware-level redundancy. The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is an enterprise server for datacenter environments, supplied in a dual-processor configuration with 48 cores, 192 GB of RAM and hybrid SSD/HDD storage. It serves as a virtualization node, database server or application host wherever service continuity is an operational requirement.

Compute capacity comes from two Intel Xeon Gold 6248R processors, each with 24 cores running at 3.00 GHz and up to 4.00 GHz in Turbo Boost. With 48 physical cores, multiple workloads can be consolidated on a single node while leaving headroom for peak demand. Two HPE Performance Heatsinks handle the 205 W TDP of each processor, keeping clock speeds stable under sustained load. Memory totals 192 GB across twelve 16 GB DDR4 modules at 2933 MHz (PC4-23400, 2Rx4). Power is redundant, delivered by two hot-swap HPE Flex Slot 1400 W Platinum supplies with 220–240 V input, so a failed unit can be replaced without downtime.

Storage is managed by the HPE Smart Array P408i-a RAID controller with 2 GB battery-backed FBWC, connected to eight front-facing SFF SAS bays. The configuration includes four 800 GB SAS Enterprise SSDs (12G) for high-I/O volumes and four 1.8 TB 10K SAS SFF HDDs (12G) for capacity data. This totals 3.2 TB SSD and 7.2 TB HDD raw, with every drive mounted in one of eight hot-swap SFF caddies. The caddies are compatible with ProLiant Gen8, Gen9 and Gen10, which simplifies reuse of existing drives. The operating system can run separately from two 256 GB M.2 SATA 6G SSDs (2280, B+M key). Networking is handled by the HPE FlexFabric 536FLR-T converged network adapter, with four 10GbE RJ-45 ports in FlexibleLOM form factor that leave PCIe slots free. The 2U chassis mounts in standard 19-inch racks and connects directly to existing copper Ethernet cabling.

This configuration fits organizations consolidating physical servers onto a virtualization platform, IT teams running ERP, CRM or SQL databases, and service providers hosting client applications. Pairing SSDs for active data with HDDs for archives allows file services, centralized backup and test environments to run on the same platform. Redundant power, storage and network links support 24/7 operation in server rooms and colocation datacenters. For companies expanding on-premise infrastructure, the DL380 Gen10 provides a scalable foundation with capacity for both current and planned workloads.
