HPE P56962-B21 - ProLiant DL380 Gen10 2U Rack Server
Overview
The HPE P56962-B21 is a 2-rack-unit (2U) server based on the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 platform, aimed at general-purpose computing in data centres, branch server rooms or virtualised environments. It ships with one Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processor (16 cores, 2.3 GHz) along with 32 GB of registered DDR4 memory and supports eight small form factor (SFF) drive bays in the front. This configuration is ideal when you need a flexible server that can handle mixed workloads × from virtual machines to database front-ends × without moving up to a larger chassis. It supports HPE's Smart Array controllers, remote management via HPE's iLO interface and redundant power supply options for increased uptime.
