P02723-B21 HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10 6248 2.5GHz 20-Core 2P Bulk

Performance Benchmarks and Testing

The HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10 6248 server is a high-performance server designed for enterprise-level computing tasks. It features two Intel Xeon 6248 processors, each with 20 cores and a clock speed of 2.5GHz, and comes with 64GB of RAM and an HPE Smart Array P408i-a storage controller supporting up to eight SFF drives.

When it comes to benchmarking and testing a server like the HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10 6248, there are several key areas that should be evaluated to determine its performance and capabilities.

• Processor Performance: The server's processor performance can be evaluated using tools like CPU-Z or Geekbench. These tools can measure the number of cores, clock speed, and other factors that affect processor performance.
• Memory Performance: The server's memory performance can be evaluated using tools like Memtest86 or Sandra. These tools can test the server's RAM to ensure that it is functioning correctly and is able to handle the demands of the workload.
• Storage Performance: The server's storage performance can be evaluated using tools like CrystalDiskMark or Iometer. These tools can measure the read and write speeds of the server's storage devices, as well as the IOPS (input/output operations per second) that they are capable of.
• Network Performance: The server's network performance can be evaluated using tools like iperf or NetStress. These tools can measure the server's network bandwidth and latency to determine how well it is able to handle network traffic.
• Virtualization Performance: The server's virtualization performance can be evaluated using tools like VMmark or SPECvirt. These tools can simulate a virtualized workload and measure how well the server is able to handle it.

In addition to these specific performance benchmarks, it's also important to perform real-world tests that simulate the actual workload that the server will be used for. This can involve running applications or workloads that are representative of the server's intended use case, and measuring its performance and stability under these conditions.

Management and Security Features

The P02723-B21 HPE Proliant DL360 Gen10 6248 server comes with several management and security features, which are designed to enhance the performance, reliability, and security of the server. Some of the key features are:

• Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Management: iLO is a remote management interface that allows administrators to monitor and control the server from anywhere in the world. It provides a web-based interface for server management and offers features like remote console access, virtual media, and power management.
• HPE OneView: OneView is a management platform that provides a unified view of the entire data center infrastructure. It allows administrators to automate tasks, monitor performance, and optimize resources across multiple servers.
• Secure Boot: Secure Boot is a feature that ensures the server boots only from trusted firmware and software. It helps prevent unauthorized access to the server and reduces the risk of malware attacks.
• Trusted Platform Module (TPM): TPM is a hardware-based security feature that provides cryptographic functions, such as key generation and secure storage, to ensure the integrity of the server. It helps protect against attacks that target the server's firmware and software.
• Smart Array P408i-a Controller: The Smart Array P408i-a controller provides hardware RAID support for the server's storage drives. It offers advanced features like RAID 6, which provides additional protection against data loss in case of multiple drive failures.
• Redundant Power Supply (RPS): The server comes with an 800W RPS, which provides redundancy in case of a power supply failure. This ensures that the server remains operational even if one power supply fails.
• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) support: The server supports AES encryption, which provides a high level of security for data at rest and in transit.

Power supply and Redundancy Features

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 server model P02723-B21 comes with a variety of power supply and redundancy features.

• Power Supply:

This server model comes with an 800W power supply unit that is hot-pluggable and redundant. This means that if one of the power supply units fails, the other one can take over, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to the server.

• Redundancy:

In addition to the redundant power supply unit, the P02723-B21 model also has several other redundancy features. These include:

• Redundant fans: The server has multiple fans that provide cooling to the components. If one of the fans fails, the others can continue to function, ensuring that the server stays cool and doesn't overheat.
• Redundant NICs: The server has two embedded NICs (network interface controllers) that provide network connectivity. If one NIC fails, the other can take over, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
• Redundant storage controllers: The server has an embedded Smart Array P408i-a storage controller, which supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives. This controller has RAID support and can provide redundancy across multiple drives. If one drive fails, the server can continue to function using the data from the remaining drives.
