HPE P56960-B21 ProLiant DL380 Gen10 2U Rack Server
Overview
The HPE P56960-B21 is a 2-rack-unit (2U) server in the ProLiant DL380 Gen10 family, aimed at data centres or branch-server rooms where you need a reliable, scalable platform without going full dual-socket heavy. It ships with one Intel Xeon Silver 4215R processor (8 cores at 3.2 GHz) and 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed, along with eight front hot-plug small-form-factor (SFF) drive bays. It's ideal for general-purpose workloads×virtualisation, consolidation, application hosting×while retaining growth potential via memory, storage and networking expansion. Because it fits the Gen10 platform, it benefits from HPE's enterprise-grade manageability, security features and broad ecosystem support.

Eight front SFF hot-plug drive bays provide a compact footprint with flexibility for SAS/SATA (or upgradeable) storage.
Includes an 800 W Flex Slot power supply which supports rack deployment and headroom for future expansion.
Built-in enterprise manageability (via HPE iLO and Gen10 platform features) allows remote control, monitoring and lifecycle integration.
