HPE DL385 Gen11 12LFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 12LFF Server is an enterprise-grade 2U rack server designed for businesses that require powerful processing, high-capacity storage and reliable network connectivity. Powered by an AMD EPYC 9115 16-core processor and equipped with 256GB DDR5 memory, this configuration provides a flexible foundation for virtualization, database management, enterprise applications and data-intensive workloads.

Combining large-form-factor hard drives with solid-state storage, the HPE DL385 Gen11 offers a practical balance between storage capacity and performance. Its expandable architecture makes it suitable for organizations building scalable data center infrastructure.

AMD EPYC 9115 16-Core Processor

At the core of this server is the AMD EPYC 9115 processor, operating at 2.6GHz with 16 cores and a 125W TDP. It delivers multi-core computing capability for demanding business applications, virtualization environments, databases, analytics and general-purpose enterprise workloads.

The single-processor configuration offers a straightforward deployment option for businesses that need substantial computing resources in a compact rack-mounted system.

256GB DDR5-6400 ECC Registered Memory

This HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 configuration includes 256GB DDR5-6400 ECC Registered memory, installed as four 64GB modules. Error-correcting memory helps detect and correct certain memory errors, supporting the reliability requirements of enterprise computing environments.

The platform features 24 DIMM slots in total, with 12 available when using the single installed processor. This provides room for future memory upgrades, subject to processor and platform configuration requirements.

49.92TB Raw SSD and HDD Storage

The server combines SATA solid-state drives with high-capacity SATA hard drives to support different storage requirements. The supplied configuration includes:

• 2 × 8TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF HDDs
• 4 × 8TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF HDDs
• 2 × 960GB SATA Read Intensive LFF SSDs

This provides 48TB of raw HDD capacity and 1.92TB of raw SSD capacity, for a combined total of 49.92TB raw installed storage.

The SSDs can be allocated to operating systems, applications or frequently accessed data, while the high-capacity HDDs provide space for business files, databases, backups and other data-intensive workloads. Actual usable capacity depends on the storage configuration, RAID level and formatting.

HPE MR416i-o Gen11 Storage Controller

The server includes the HPE MR416i-o Gen11 storage controller, featuring x16 lanes and 8GB cache in an OCP form factor. It provides enterprise storage connectivity for the installed drives and supports storage management requirements within the configured platform.

Dual-Port 10Gb Ethernet Connectivity

For network communication, this configuration features the Broadcom BCM57416 10Gb 2-Port BASE-T OCP3 Ethernet adapter. Its two 10GbE RJ-45 ports provide high-speed connectivity for business networks, server-to-server communication, virtualization environments and large file transfers.

The 10Gb Ethernet interface is particularly useful for organizations that need more network bandwidth than conventional 1GbE connectivity provides.

Redundant 800W Platinum Power Supplies

Two 800W HPE Flex Slot Platinum Hot-Plug power supplies are included in a redundant 1+1 configuration. This arrangement helps maintain service availability if one power supply fails and supports hot-plug replacement, subject to the system's operating conditions.

Expandable 12LFF Rack Server Architecture

The HPE DL385 Gen11 uses a 2U rack form factor with a 12LFF front drive configuration. With compatible expansion hardware, the platform can support additional mid and rear drive cages, subject to the selected chassis, riser and drive configuration.

The broader platform supports up to 20 LFF drives with the appropriate expansion components and compatible drives. Maximum storage capacity is configuration-dependent and should not be confused with the 49.92TB installed in this server.
