Overview
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 (8 SFF) is a 2U, dual-processor rack server optimized for enterprise workloads requiring a balance of compute, memory, and storage density. It is built for versatile deployment in virtualization, software-defined storage, database, hybrid cloud, and general-purpose server roles. The 8 SFF (small form factor) drive bay configuration allows flexible support for SAS, SATA, or NVMe storage with expansion potential to higher drive counts. Featuring support for fourth- and fifth-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5, and advanced security and management capabilities, it is designed to deliver performance, scalability, and reliability for modern data center demands.
Features
- Supports dual Intel® Xeon® Scalable (4th / 5th Gen) processors — up to 64 cores per processor (depending on model)
- High memory capacity via DDR5 SmartMemory, up to 8 TB (32 DIMMs)
- PCIe 5.0 slots and OCP 3.0 expansion for high bandwidth I/O
- 8 hot-plug SFF drive bays with support for SAS, SATA, and NVMe (via appropriate backplanes)
- Expandable drive support (e.g. optional drive cages) to larger SFF counts
- Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) for remote management, monitoring, and firmware lifecycle management
- Security “by design”: silicon root of trust, secure boot, memory encryption, firmware protection
- Support for GPU acceleration (up to certain number of single- or double-wide GPUs, depending on configuration)
- Hot-plug redundant power supplies and fans for high availability
- Flexible RAID / storage controller support (tri-mode, cache, etc.)
- Designed for enterprise-class uptime, diagnostics, and serviceability
