HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 12LFF Server

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 12LFF Server is a 2U enterprise rack server designed for organizations that need strong processing performance, high-capacity storage and reliable connectivity for demanding business workloads. This configuration combines an AMD EPYC 9115 16-core processor, 128GB DDR5 memory, 32TB of installed SATA storage, 10Gb Ethernet and redundant Platinum power supplies.

AMD EPYC 16-Core Performance

The server is powered by an AMD EPYC 9115 processor running at 2.6GHz with 16 cores and a 125W TDP. Its multi-core architecture provides the processing capability required for virtualization, databases, enterprise applications, file services, analytics and other compute-intensive workloads.

The single-processor configuration also provides a practical platform for organizations that need substantial compute performance while maintaining a straightforward 2U server architecture.

128GB DDR5 ECC Registered Memory

This configuration includes 128GB DDR5-6400 ECC Registered memory, installed as 2 × 64GB Dual Rank x4 modules. The DL385 Gen11 provides 24 DIMM slots, with 12 slots available when operating with the single installed processor.

The available memory expansion makes the platform suitable for growing virtualization environments, databases and memory-intensive applications.

32TB High-Capacity LFF Storage

The DL385 Gen11 12LFF configuration is designed around high-capacity storage. It includes 4 × 8TB SATA 6G 7.2K LFF hard drives, providing 32TB of total raw installed storage.

The large-form-factor drive architecture is particularly useful for organizations that prioritize storage capacity for file servers, backup repositories, archives, surveillance data, media workloads and other applications where high-capacity HDD storage is required.

The server supports up to 20 LFF drives when compatible mid and rear drive cage configurations are added, allowing the platform to reach up to 400TB of raw SAS/SATA HDD capacity using 20TB drives.

HPE MR416i-o Gen11 Storage Controller

Storage connectivity is managed through the HPE MR416i-o Gen11 storage controller, featuring x16 lanes and 8GB cache in an OCP form factor. The controller provides enterprise storage management and is designed to work with the server's SAS/SATA storage architecture.

10Gb Ethernet Connectivity

For network connectivity, this configuration includes a Broadcom BCM57416 2-port 10Gb BASE-T OCP3 Ethernet adapter.

The 10GbE interface provides substantially higher network bandwidth than standard 1Gb Ethernet, making the server suitable for environments involving virtualization, large file transfers, storage traffic and data-intensive business applications.

Redundant Platinum Power Supplies

The server is equipped with 2 × 800W HPE Flex Slot Platinum Hot-Plug power supplies configured for redundant operation. The 1+1 configuration helps maintain server availability if one power supply experiences a failure and supports hot-plug replacement.

Built for High-Capacity Enterprise Storage

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 12LFF is a strong option for organizations that require a combination of AMD EPYC processing and large-capacity LFF storage in a 2U rack platform.

It can be used for:

• Virtualization environments
• File and storage servers
