This model features one Intel Xeon Gold 6430 processor, 64 GB (2×32 GB) dual rank memory, an embedded SATA controller (AHCI or Intel SATA Software RAID), support for up to eight SFF (2.5″) drives, and Broadcom BCM57414 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2‑port SFP for high‑speed networking. It also includes one HPE ProLiant DL380/DL560 Gen11 2U High Performance Fan Kit for enhanced cooling and one HPE 1000W Flex Slot Titanium Hot Plug Power Supply Kit for energy‑efficient power delivery.

Backed by a 3/3/3 warranty (3 years parts, 3 years labour, 3 years onsite), this HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 rack server is an ideal foundation for scaling your on‑premise or hybrid infrastructure. You can also align it with additional tower and rack models in the broader servers category as your environment grows.

Detailed Specification Table

When sizing your solution, you can compare this configuration to other rack and tower servers in the networking products servers lineup to match CPU, RAM, and storage with your workload needs.

Key Performance Highlights

• 32-Core Heavyweight: The Xeon Gold 6430 is a powerhouse. With 32 cores, it is designed for environments that run hundreds of containers or dozens of heavy virtual machines simultaneously.
• Extreme Thermal Management: Because the Gold 6430 has a high 270W TDP, this configuration includes the High Performance Fan Kit and Performance Heatsinks. Standard fans cannot cool this processor; these high-velocity fans ensure the server remains stable even under 100% CPU load.
• Next-Gen Networking: The included Broadcom BCM57414 provides 25Gbps throughput per port. This is essential for modern data centers in Nairobi to reduce latency in storage area networks (SAN) and high-speed vMotion migrations.
• Memory Bandwidth: With 64GB of DDR5 memory across two channels, you are already benefiting from the increased speed of the Gen11 architecture. The system supports up to 16 DIMMs per processor, allowing for massive future memory expansion.
• Titanium Efficiency: The 1000W Titanium PSU ensures that even with a 270W processor, your power conversion loss is minimal (4% or less), keeping operational costs low.
