Product Description

The HP 665552-B21 represents the ProLiant DL380p Generation 8 (G8) server in a 2U rackmount form factor, offered as a Configure-to-Order (CTO) unit. This means the server is sold as a base chassis and components, allowing customers to specify processors, RAM, storage drives, network adapters, and other options to precisely match their application needs. The DL380p G8 is renowned for its balance of performance, expandability, and reliability, making it a cornerstone for many enterprise data centers. This server platform is designed to support dual Intel Xeon processors, offering significant computational power for demanding workloads such as virtualization, database operations, and high-performance computing. It provides extensive memory capacity, supporting large amounts of DDR3 RAM, which is crucial for memory-intensive applications. The flexible storage bay options, typically supporting either Small Form Factor (SFF) or Large Form Factor (LFF) drives, allow for a customized storage configuration to meet capacity and performance requirements. The ProLiant DL380p G8 is engineered with advanced features for power efficiency, manageability, and serviceability, including HP's Smart Array controllers and integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management. Its 2U size allows for dense rack deployments, while its robust design ensures high availability and uptime, essential for mission-critical business operations. The CTO model ensures that organizations acquire a server precisely configured for their current and future IT demands.
