HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 server
We are living in the era of Big Data, with data volumes and types constantly expanding across industries. This new data landscape brings with it immense opportunities but also challenges for organizations to effectively collect, store, manage and analyze massive datasets. As the core of any data infrastructure, servers play a crucial role in enabling insights and innovation from data assets.
HP’s latest generation HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 server shows impressive advancements that make it highly optimized for the demands of the data-driven digital age. As one of HP’s most powerful single-socket platforms, the 12th generation DL385 pushes the boundaries in dense, high-performance computing through its innovative architecture and design.
At the heart of the DL385 Gen12 is Intel’s 3rd generation Xeon Scalable processors, code-named Ice Lake. Featuring up to 40 cores per socket, the new Platinum and Gold processors bring an unprecedented level of processing power in a compact 1U form factor. They also integrate new enhancements like Intel’s built-in artificial intelligence accelerators.
In addition to raw CPU muscle, the DL385 has been engineered from the ground up with memory-intensive and storage-heavy workflows in mind. It supports an industry-leading 24 DIMM slots, allowing up to 6TB of DDR4 memory – enough capacity to store and analyze massive datasets in memory without slowing down.
Equally impressive are its storage capabilities, with support for up to 48 SAS/SATA drives or 32 NVMe SSDs. The latest generation NVMe drives deliver flash performance of over 7GB/s per drive. Combined with new software-defined storage technologies, organizations can set up highly scalable, flexible storage tiers that optimize for different data access patterns and budgets.
Other highlights of the DL385 Gen12 include expanded I/O with embedded 10GbE and 25GbE as well as hardware-based security features. Its modular architecture and tool-less serviceability further enhance total cost of ownership with ease of upgrades and maintenance.
Overall, the new HP DL385 continues its lineage as a leading platform for data-intensive applications ranging from AI, analytics and databases to VDI and virtualization. Its optimized hardware configuration sets a new bar for single-socket density balanced with scalable performance. As data center footprints shrink while demands grow exponentially, the DL385 delivers a future-proof solution to power our data-driven digital age.
That concludes my overview of how HP’s latest DL385 Gen12 server has been purpose-built from the chip level up to excel at data-centric workloads. Let me know if you need any additional technical perspective or analysis. I’d be happy to discuss specific use cases and workload validation too.
