HPE DL380a Gen12 CTO Rack Server

Engineered for massive storage density, flexible configurations, and demanding workloads, the HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 CTO (Configure-to-Order) server is a powerhouse 4U rack solution designed for ultimate customization. Manufactured in China to HPE’s stringent global standards, this server provides the foundation for large-scale virtualization, big data analytics, software-defined storage, and high-capacity archival solutions.

Unparalleled Flexibility & Scalability:

• Configure-to-Order (CTO) Foundation: Start with this robust base platform and tailor it precisely to your needs – select exact CPUs, massive amounts of memory, vast storage configurations, and specialized adapters. Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 1 PC, enabling bespoke solutions even for single deployments.
• Massive 4U Form Factor: The spacious 4U chassis provides exceptional room for drive expansion, high-performance cooling, and accommodating power-hungry components, making it ideal for storage-centric or high-compute tasks.
• Powerful Intel Xeon Scalable Performance: Equipped with next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (sample base frequency: 2.4 GHz; actual CPU model, core count, and turbo speeds configurable), delivering exceptional performance for the most intensive applications.
• High-Capacity Memory Ready: Features 64GB DDR4 memory in this sample configuration (highly scalable – supports significantly larger capacities with DDR5 depending on exact Gen12 CPU chosen). Designed to handle large in-memory datasets.

Optimized for Storage & Reliability:

• Robust Power Infrastructure: Includes a high-wattage 2400W power supply (typically Platinum efficiency or better), ensuring ample, clean, and redundant power for dense storage shelves and high-performance compute modules.
• Advanced Storage Management: Features the HPE NS204i-u v2 NVMe Smart Array Controller, providing optimized performance, data protection (RAID support), and simplified management for both SATA/SAS and high-speed NVMe drives (exact drive types, capacities, and quantities fully configurable within the massive 4U chassis).
• Designed for High Drive Density: The 4U chassis inherently supports a vast number of drive bays (specific count depends on selected storage backplane configuration – a key CTO option), making it perfect for building large-scale storage pools or archives.

Enterprise-Grade Management & Security:

• HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6): Delivers industry-leading remote management, security, and automation capabilities for effortless control and monitoring, regardless of location or OS state.
• HPE Silicon Root of Trust & Cyber Resiliency: Built-in security from the silicon up, ensuring firmware integrity and protection against sophisticated cyber threats.
• Global Support & Warranty: Backed by HPE’s worldwide services and a standard 3-Year Warranty, providing investment protection and minimizing risk.

Key Specifications (Base Platform / Sample Config):

Ideal For: Large-scale Software-Defined Storage (SDS), Big Data & Analytics platforms (Hadoop, Splunk), High-Capacity Network Attached Storage (NAS) / Object Storage, Virtualization Host with significant local storage (VMware, Hyper-V), Media Streaming & Archive, Backup Targets, and demanding database applications requiring high I/O and capacity.

The HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 CTO server is the ultimate flexible canvas for building powerful, storage-dense, or compute-intensive solutions. Its 4U design, CTO flexibility, robust power, and advanced storage controller empower you to create the exact infrastructure needed for your most critical and capacity-hungry workloads, backed by HPE’s enterprise reliability.
