HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Server
Build a data center that meets your business needs for today and tomorrow
Data sheet
Are technology advances
holding you back from
making the right investments?
In the face of explosive data growth, the
need for efficient data management is on a
constant rise. Data centers are being forced
to continually adopt new technologies in
order to handle this exponential growth of
data. How then do you channelize growth
and allow your data center to move and
be on par with time and technology? Do
you hold back investments for a later
time? Or do you strain your IT budget
by making investments that will have to
be quickly replaced? The answer is quite
simple. You could invest in servers that are
efficient and flexible enough to handle
today’s computing requirements, while
safeguarding the future growth of your
data center.
HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Server is
engineered to protect your server investment
and extend the life of your data center with
reliability, accessibility, and serviceability.
This versatile rack-optimized server balances
efficiency and performance, and makes
management simple and effective. It is
future-proof, with the HP-exclusive Flexible
Lan-On-Motherboard (FlexibleLOM), giving
you a choice of 1 GB or 10 GB NICs,
thus allowing easy upgradability for future
NIC capacities as they become available
during the Gen8 lifecycle. This adaptability
allows your server to be future-ready, today.
The ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Server:
•Increases performance with greater
processor core count, memory capacities,
and internal storage capacities
•Improves manageability with
next-generation embedded
HP Smart Array P420i technology
•Enhances serviceability with improved
PCIe riser solutions, smart socket guides,
and elegant cabling
•Enables flexible network solutions with
FlexibleLOM NICs
•Provides embedded provisioning tools,
active health monitoring, and system
maintenance capabilities built using
industry-leading HP Integrated Lights-Out
(iLO) Management Engine
Whether you are an enterprise-class data center,
or a small or medium sized business looking
to expand in the future, the ProLiant DL380p
Gen8 Server provides configuration flexibility
that can cater to your growing server needs
with efficiency.
