HPE ProLiant ML350 G9 E5‑2609v4 32GB 8×2.5″ Tower Server — Expandable & Reliable

The HPE ProLiant ML350 G9 E5‑2609v4 32GB 8×2.5″ Tower Server is a versatile, entry‑to‑mid level enterprise tower built for small and medium businesses, remote offices and growing IT infrastructures that need a dependable, serviceable on‑premises platform. Powered by the Intel Xeon E5‑2609 v4 1.7GHz 8‑core processor and shipped with 32GB of DDR4 memory, the ML350 G9 offers a balanced mix of compute, memory and storage expandability in a tower form factor that fits server rooms, branches or office closets.

Designed by HPE for reliability and manageability, the ML350 G9 supports eight 2.5″ drive bays (hot‑swap depending on chassis), flexible RAID configurations, multiple NIC options and a broad ecosystem of HPE storage and networking add‑ons. Its modular design simplifies upgrades — add more RAM, swap to higher‑capacity NVMe/SSD drives or install additional PCIe cards for networking, acceleration or backup. Note: operating systems, virtualization and management software are sold separately and should be planned for at purchase.

Why the ML350 G9? For companies consolidating services (file/print, backup, AD, small virtualization clusters, remote VDI), the ML350 G9 delivers consistent server performance with enterprise features such as HPE iLO remote management, optional redundant power supplies and hardware RAID controllers. The E5‑2609v4 CPU provides reliable multi‑threaded performance for business workloads while keeping thermals and power consumption moderate — an important consideration in small data centers and office environments.

This server excels where uptime, predictable cost of ownership and future growth matter. With support for expansion chassis, flexible drive configurations and HPE’s serviceability, the ML350 G9 is a strong candidate for IT managers who want a durable, upgradeable tower that transitions to rack deployments when their footprint grows.
