HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 Server – 2× Intel Xeon E5-4603 v2, 16-Core, 128GB DDR3 ECC RAM, 600GB 10K SAS HDD, RAID, 4× Gigabit LAN, Dual PSU, 2U Rackmount

The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 is a high-density 2U rack server designed for businesses, data centers, virtualization environments, and demanding enterprise workloads. With dual Intel Xeon processors, 128GB of ECC memory, SAS storage, RAID capability, multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, and redundant power supplies, this server provides a dependable platform for a wide range of professional applications.

The server is powered by 2× Intel Xeon E5-4603 v2 processors, delivering a combined 16 physical CPU cores, with 8 cores per processor. This multi-processor configuration is suitable for workloads requiring multiple CPU cores, including virtualization, database applications, hosting, business applications, and server consolidation.

With 128GB of DDR3 ECC RAM, the DL560 Gen8 provides a substantial memory configuration for running multiple applications and virtual machines. ECC memory is designed to detect and correct certain types of memory errors, making it particularly suitable for server environments where data reliability and system stability are important.

For storage, this configuration includes a 600GB 10K SAS hard disk drive. The 10,000 RPM SAS drive provides enterprise-oriented storage performance and is suitable for operating systems, applications, databases, and business data.

The server includes a Smart Array RAID Controller, providing hardware-based storage management and supporting RAID configurations where compatible drives are installed. RAID can help improve storage performance, availability, or redundancy depending on the selected configuration.

For network connectivity, the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 features 4× Gigabit LAN ports, allowing the server to connect to multiple networks or be configured for different networking requirements. Multiple network interfaces can be useful for virtualization, network segmentation, redundancy, and server management.

The system is equipped with dual hot-plug power supplies, providing power redundancy and allowing a failed PSU to be replaced without necessarily shutting down the server when the system is configured with appropriate redundant power infrastructure.

Its 2U rackmount form factor makes the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 suitable for standard data-center racks and server rooms. The rack-mounted design provides a practical solution for organizations looking to deploy enterprise computing power while making efficient use of rack space.
