Description
Product Overview
The HPE DL360p Gen8 is a high-performance, 1U rack-mountable server designed for businesses of all sizes. It is part of the ProLiant DL family of servers, which are known for their reliability, expandability, and ease of use. The DL360p Gen8 is optimized for virtualization, cloud computing, and other demanding workloads.
The server features two Intel Xeon E5-2600v2 processors, which provide high levels of performance and energy efficiency. It also supports up to 768GB of memory and has room for up to eight small form factor (SFF) or four large form factor (LFF) hard drives. Additionally, the server has a wide range of expansion options, including support for up to four PCIe 3.0 slots and a variety of storage options.
One of the key features of the DL360p Gen8 is its built-in management capabilities. The server comes with HPE’s Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management technology, which allows administrators to remotely manage and monitor the server, even when it is powered off. This makes it easy to troubleshoot and resolve issues, as well as perform firmware updates.
Performance and Energy Efficiency
The HPE DL360p Gen8 server, equipped with the Intel Xeon E5-2637v2 processor, delivers high levels of performance and energy efficiency.
In terms of performance, the E5-2637v2 processor has a base clock speed of 3.5GHz and four cores, allowing for fast processing of data and efficient handling of multiple tasks simultaneously. It also has a large 15MB cache, which helps to improve performance by reducing the time it takes to access data. With a TDP of 130W, it is a powerful processor that can handle demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and big data processing.
Regarding energy efficiency, the E5-2637v2 processor has been designed to minimize power consumption while still providing strong performance. It features Intel’s Turbo Boost technology, which allows the processor to automatically adjust its clock speed based on the workload, thereby reducing power consumption when it is not needed. Additionally, it has been built with 22nm process technology, which helps to reduce power consumption while still maintaining high performance.
The HPE DL360p Gen8 server also features advanced power management features such as HPE’s Dynamic Power Capping and HPE’s Power Regulator, which allow administrators to set power consumption limits and monitor power usage in real-time. This can help to further reduce power consumption and associated costs.
Compatibility and Upgrade Options
The HPE DL360p Gen8 server, equipped with the Intel Xeon E5-2637v2 processor, offers a range of compatibility and upgrade options that allow businesses to customize the server to their specific needs.
In terms of memory compatibility, the DL360p Gen8 supports up to 768GB of DDR3 memory, and it has 18 DIMM slots for memory expansion. Memory can be upgraded in small increments as needed to support growing workloads.
Storage options are also varied. The server can support up to 8 small form factor (SFF) or 4 large form factor (LFF) hard drives, and it has a variety of storage controllers to choose from including HPE’s Smart Array P420i, P421i and P822i. Additionally, it supports a variety of storage interface options such as SAS, SATA and even NVMe.
The DL360p Gen8 also has a wide range of expansion options, including support for up to 4 PCIe 3.0 slots, which can be used to add additional storage, network or other expansion cards. This allows businesses to customize the server to meet their specific needs, whether that be for additional storage or for specialized hardware.
In terms of upgradability, the DL360p Gen8 is designed to be easily upgradeable, which allows businesses to expand the server’s capabilities as their needs change. The server has a tool-less design, which makes it easy to add or replace components, and HPE’s iLO management technology makes it easy to perform firmware updates and other maintenance tasks remotely.
