HPE DL385 G7 Server for Virtualization

The HPE ProLiant DL385 G7 is a 2U rack server built around two AMD Opteron 6274 processors, each delivering 16 cores at 2.20 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR3 memory and a SAS RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. This configuration targets organisations consolidating workloads in corporate data centres or sophisticated SMB environments.

Dual-Processor Thermal Envelope

Two installed processors and 24 populated memory slots draw sustained power within the 2U chassis airflow design. The system uses standard HPE cooling architecture to maintain stable operating temperatures across the SR5690 chipset and storage subsystem during typical virtualisation workloads. Acoustic output remains consistent with dense rack deployments where ambient cooling is managed at the row level.

512 GB Maximum Memory Capacity

The platform supports up to 512 GB of DDR3 SDRAM across 24 DIMM slots, defining the ceiling for virtual machine density and in-memory database sizing. Buyers needing larger memory footprints per socket must evaluate alternative architectures. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and single 5.25-inch bay provide internal storage expansion within the existing RAID capability.
