HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 9124 3.0GHz 16 Core 1P 32GB-R 8SFF 800W PS Server

The HPE P55080-B21 is a 2U rack server built for organizations that need dependable compute power and room to expand. It suits data analytics teams, virtualization clusters, and engineering groups that handle AI model training or high-performance storage workloads. By pairing modern AMD processing with PCIe Gen5 expansion, the platform gives administrators a straightforward path to higher throughput without revamping the entire rack.

An AMD EPYC 9124 processor with 16 cores running at 3.0 GHz drives the system. The server ships with 32 GB of DDR5 memory and can scale to 6 TB, which allows IT staff to start small and grow in line with project demands. This headroom is useful for database instances that grow over time or virtual desktop pools that add new users each quarter.

The chassis offers eight small form factor drive bays, giving storage architects flexible options for performance or capacity tiers. A single PCIe Gen5 x16 slot and two OCP 3.0 slots provide space for GPU accelerators, advanced network adapters, or high-speed storage controllers, so teams can fine-tune the configuration to match a specific workload instead of over-buying generic hardware.

Daily operation is simplified by an 800 W hot-plug power supply that can be replaced without shutting down the server. Integrated Lights-Out 6 remote management lets administrators monitor health, push firmware updates, and perform power cycles from any location with a secure browser session. Hardware-based root of trust and secure boot features help protect critical data from firmware-level attacks, which is essential for research environments and financial services.

Four built-in 1 Gb Ethernet ports powered by a Broadcom controller cover standard networking requirements out of the box. When additional bandwidth is needed, the PCIe Gen5 lanes make it easy to drop in higher-speed adapters without sacrificing performance.
