This is a great entry-level system for SMBs and offers many of the same features found in the more advanced ProLiant Gen9 servers. With the HPE DL80 Gen9, Administrators can start out with just one processor and quickly scale to support two processors, and more memory as business needs change. Choose from either an 8 or 12-bay LFF drive bay chassis. Offering substantial storage, this system is a perfect fit for running storage-intensive applications like backup and cold storage. It's also an excellent platform for running common IT infrastructure workloads.
The ProLiant DL80 Gen9 features the Intel C610 chipset and supports one or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or E5-2600 v4 processors with 4 to 14 cores, and 2.5MB cache per core. Power is provided by either a 550W or 900W PSU with options for redundant and non-redundant power configurations.
High-speed DDR4 memory is supported in up to eight DIMM slots on the Gen9 DL80 in a two processor configuration. With a single processor, only 4 DIMM slots are available. Using 32GB memory modules with two CPUs, the system will support up to 256GB of memory and speeds of up to 2400MHz using HPE SmartMemory. Both registered (RDIMM) and load-reduced (LRDIMM) modes are supported but cannot be mixed.
Using 12 8TB hot-plug SAS LFF drives in a 12-bay chassis will provide an impressive 96TB of storage. Optical drives are not supported on either DL80 G9 chassis configuration. Entry models are equipped with an integrated HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller that can support up to 10 x SATA HDs at 6Gb/s and RAID configurations of 0, 1, and 5. Additional controllers are supported, including the HPE H240 FIO Smart Host Bus Adapter and the Smart Array P440.
The system comes standard with 2x 1GbE. There's also an optional FlexibleLOM slot that can support either 1GbE, 10GbE, or Quad Data Rate (QDR) and Fourteen Data Rate (FDR) with an InfinBand networking option.
Up to seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots are available in a two processor configuration. Various PCIe risers can be installed to support optional components like a single-width GPU, additional NICs or storage controllers. The HPE DL80 Gen9 has an integrated Matrox G200eH2 for graphics support.
Like all of HPE's Gen9 servers the ProLiant DL80 G9 comes with HPE's iLO management module, which can be accessed from a shared 1Gb I/O port. iLO helps manage the system and provides remote power management. For more advanced management features like power capping, advanced power monitoring, and OS remote control, you'll need the Advanced license.
HPE's DL80 Gen9 server offers excellent scalability for SMBs that don't initially require a great deal of compute or storage. As business demands increase, the system can scale with the addition of a second CPU, more memory modules and storage devices. Built-in management tools also help to mitigate costs and ensure maximum uptime.
