Know before you buy
This server is engineered for demanding enterprise tasks, specifically excelling in data analytics and hybrid cloud environments. Its 2U rack-mountable design and high-performance Intel Xeon processor make it a reliable choice for businesses needing a balance of compute power and scalability.
The DL380 Gen12 is highly scalable, supporting up to 8 TB of DDR5 RAM. This allows you to significantly increase your memory capacity as your data processing needs grow over time.
No, the server is shipped without an operating system. This gives your IT team the flexibility to install the specific OS or hypervisor that best fits your existing infrastructure.
The server features three PCIe 5.0 expansion slots and one OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot. These provide ample room for high-speed networking, storage controllers, or other specialized hardware add-ons.
The DL380 Gen12 includes integrated HPE iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) management. This allows you to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the server remotely via a dedicated RJ-45 port, regardless of the server's power state.
The server comes with a hot-plug power supply, and power redundancy is available as an optional configuration. We recommend adding a second power supply if your environment requires continuous uptime during potential power failures.
