Key features and benets
The ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Server oers performance, eciency, storage capacity, and
reliability in a compact size. Features include:
• HP Smart Socket guide: Enables intelligent, precise, and quick processor installation or
upgrade, which lowers the risk of downtime for your business.
• HP Smart Drives with cognitive drive activity: Provides new, more intuitive drive activity
and status indicators that enhance serviceability for easier management and reduced
maintenance errors. The new carrier provides increased capacity, thus oering improved rack
space and addressing additional power needs, with 33 percent increase in capacity footprint.

• HP SmartMemory: Authenticates memory, ensuring that the highest of quality standards are
met. Since the memory has been customized for HP ProLiant, HP SmartMemory enables the
servers to run speeds greater than third party memory can provide. The server also oers
a 32 GB LRDIMM which gives a maximum capacity of 768 GB, and speed up to 1866 MHz.
• HP FlexibleNetwork Adapters: Oers you a choice of increased conguration exibility and
faster serviceability. Removable and replaceable, the family of Flexible Networking solutions
allows you to easily adopt a 4-port 1 GB solution, or implement a 2-port 10 GB, CNA, or
InniBand solution when the need arises.
• ProLiant 3D Sea of Sensors: Enables energy savings by facilitating more ecient fan usage
to cool the server. The web of temperature sensors allows for precise and ecient cooling by
providing a more complete, literally 3D view of temperature in the server so that server fans
can direct cooling where it is most required.
• ENERGY STAR
®
certied: Helps your business conserve energy and save money. The ENERGY
STAR program is qualied by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Why HP?
The use of a single iLO version on all our ProLiant Gen8 servers makes them consistent, simpler,
and easier to manage. Additionally, the embedded provisioning enables a server startup that is
simplied and time-ecient. The ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Server comes with new drive carriers,
faster array controllers, and faster, lower voltage memory, giving you more internal storage
and better performance. Also, the active health system with an always-on diagnostic analysis
enables faster time to resolution.
Embedded rmware, update tools, and new system software service pack releases for
HP ProLiant enable automated scan and updates. This saves precious time and reduces
complexity. And, with embedded, agentless management, you get health monitoring without
loading operating system agents, which leads to better performance and management insight.
