Description
Processor and Performance
The HPE ProLiant DL380p G8 2U Rack Server is equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 2.2GHz processors, providing powerful processing capabilities to meet a variety of business needs.
The Intel Xeon E5-2660 processor is a 64-bit processor with eight cores and sixteen threads per processor, providing a total of 16 cores and 32 threads for the server. The processor also supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing for improved multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance.
The server supports up to 768GB of memory using 24 DIMM slots, providing ample memory capacity for even the most demanding workloads. The server supports DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) or Load-Reduced (LRDIMM) memory modules, with maximum speeds of up to 1600MHz.
The server includes features to improve overall performance and efficiency, such as Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). Intel Turbo Boost Technology allows the processor to dynamically adjust its clock speed based on the workload, providing increased performance when needed. Intel AVX improves performance for applications that utilize floating-point operations, such as scientific simulations and financial modeling.
The server also includes features to improve overall system efficiency, such as Intelligent Power Monitoring and Power Capping. Intelligent Power Monitoring provides real-time power usage monitoring, allowing for improved power management and increased efficiency. Power Capping allows for the setting of power limits for the server, ensuring that power usage remains within defined limits and reducing power consumption.
Memory Capacity
Memory capacity is an important consideration when selecting a server, as it directly impacts the server’s ability to handle multiple applications and support large amounts of data. The HPE ProLiant DL380p G8 2U Rack Server offers flexible memory configurations to meet different business requirements.
The server supports DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) and Load Reduced (LRDIMM) memory modules, with a maximum capacity of 768GB. The number of memory slots varies depending on the processor configuration, with a maximum of 24 slots for two processors.
RDIMMs are a common type of memory module, providing fast performance and low latency. However, their capacity is limited, with a maximum of 32GB per module. LRDIMMs, on the other hand, use a buffer to reduce the load on the memory controller, allowing for larger capacities of up to 64GB per module.
The server’s memory speed depends on the processor configuration, with a maximum speed of 1600MHz. The speed of the memory impacts the server’s performance, with faster memory providing improved performance for memory-intensive applications.
The server supports memory mirroring, a feature that provides data redundancy by creating a duplicate of memory data. If a memory module fails, the duplicate data is used to ensure uninterrupted operation. The server also includes memory online spare, a feature that provides additional protection by automatically replacing failed memory modules with a spare module.
Storage Capacity
Storage capacity is a crucial consideration when selecting a server, as it directly impacts the server’s ability to store and retrieve data. The HPE ProLiant DL380p G8 2U Rack Server provides flexible storage options to meet a variety of business needs.
The server supports up to eight 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SAS, SATA, or SSD hot-plug hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs) for a maximum internal storage capacity of 48TB. The server also supports external storage expansion through SAS or iSCSI interfaces, providing additional flexibility for storage needs.
The server’s storage capacity can be configured in various RAID configurations to improve data protection, availability, and performance. The server supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50, and 60. RAID 0 provides maximum performance by striping data across multiple drives, but does not provide any data redundancy. RAID 1 and 10 provide data redundancy by mirroring data across multiple drives, while RAID 5, 6, 50, and 60 provide a combination of striping and parity, allowing for improved performance and data protection.
The server includes features to improve storage performance and efficiency. The server supports HPE Smart Array technology, providing hardware acceleration for RAID configurations and improving overall storage performance. The server also supports HPE SmartCache, a feature that uses SSDs as a cache for frequently accessed data, providing faster access to data and improving overall storage efficiency.
