The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus is a versatile and secure 2U rack server designed for demanding, data-intensive workloads such as virtualization, software-defined storage (SDS), and high-performance computing (HPC). It is powered by high core-count AMD EPYC processors and features extensive memory capacity and fast PCIe Gen4 capabilities. Key features
Performance and processing
- Processor: Supports up to two 2nd Generation (and in the v2, 3rd Generation) AMD EPYC 7000 Series processors, providing a high core density with up to 64 cores per processor.
- Memory: Offers a large memory footprint with up to 32 DIMM slots, supporting up to 4TB of HPE DDR4 SmartMemory running at speeds up to 3200 MT/s.
- Virtualization: Delivers excellent price-to-performance for virtualized environments, allowing for a high density of virtual machines (VMs).
Storage and expansion
- Flexible storage: Provides highly flexible storage configurations with modular drive bays that support multiple combinations of LFF (3.5"), SFF (2.5"), and NVMe drives.
- Massive capacity: Can be configured to hold up to 28 SFF, 20 LFF, or 16 NVMe drives, with a maximum storage capacity of over 400TB depending on the drive type.
- PCIe Gen4: Equipped with PCIe Gen4 capabilities, which provides increased I/O bandwidth and improved data transfer rates.
Security
- 360-degree security: Includes an embedded AMD Secure Processor that works with HPE's Silicon Root of Trust to manage secure boot, memory encryption, and secure virtualization.
- Firmware protection: Validates server firmware to protect against corrupted code, ensuring a secure supply chain from manufacturing to deployment.
- Secure erase: Features a "one-button" secure erase function to simplify and safeguard the removal of data when repurposing or retiring the server.
Management and services
- Intelligent management: Comes with embedded HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 5) for monitoring and remote management, providing comprehensive reporting and management tools.
- Infrastructure management: Uses HPE OneView for software-defined, automated infrastructure management.
- AI-driven insights: Utilizes HPE InfoSight to predict and prevent problems by providing AI-driven operational insights.
- As-a-Service model: Supported by HPE GreenLake, which offers a pay-per-use consumption model for on-premises IT.
