Description

Expandability, performance, reliability, and  easy  to use  management tools make  the HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9  server a cost e?ective option to suit any size business. Utilizing the new Xeon E5-2600 processor family, an abundance of memory, and  a variety of storage

options, the HPE DL180 Gen9  is ideal for running business applications such as Hadoop, Cloud-based SaaS, and  mobile applications.

Performance

A maximum of two Intel E5-2600 v3 or E5-2600 v4 processors are supported with 4 to 18 cores each, and  o?er speeds of up to

2400MT/s. With two top of the line 18-core v4 processors installed that’s 36 cores total and  72 threads.

Memory

Both Registered (RDIMM) and  Load Reduced (LRDIMM), DDR4 memory modules are supported on this system. HPE’s DDR4

SmartMemory modules deliver up to 50%  more  bandwidth than  DDR3 modules while reducing power  consumption by up to 40%. 16

DIMM slots total, with eight slots per processor, are available in a two-processor con?guration and  provide up to 512GB  using  16 x

32GB RDIMM modules. For more  performance, LRDIMMs will provide up to 1TB of memory. Both RDIMMs and  LRDIMMs support transfer speeds of up to 2400  MT/s but for performance applications LRDIMM modules are recommended.

Storage

Administrators can  choose between chassis con?gurations supporting either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA or SAS HDDs, and  SSDs. A

12-bay LFF drive bay con?gurations supports maximum storage of 120TB using  12 x 10TB SAS or SATA HDDs. Several other  drive con?gurations are available depending on your performance and  storage needs. Optional M.2 and  Dual Micro SD cards o?er super- fast OS and  Hypervisor boot  support. Refer to the speci?cations for more  information on storage options.

Expansion

Up to 6 PCIe 3.0 slots are available on the HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9  in a two processor con?guration using  two risers. Three di?erent riser options support a range of expansion cards and  additional external devices such as optional GPUs,  networking cards to increase bandwidth and  performance, and  external and  internal storage controllers. The secondary riser board is only supported with two processors. An integrated Matrox G200eH2 graphics processor is embedded on the system board but additional Nvidia GPUs are supported including Nvidia’s Quadro K2200 or K4200 graphics accelerator cards. Incorporating two GPU cards requires a two processor con?guration.

Management

HPE o?ers several di?erent management tools to provide better server maintenance and  reduce critical downtime. HPE’s Integrated Lights Out (iLO) comes standard on this system. iLO gives administrators access to server health information and  the ability to monitor and  set  server power  and  thermal controls on-site or remotely. Optional enterprise licenses can  be purchased giving administrators even more  management tools. An iLO Essentials license grants SMBs server set  up via virtual media, full remote management access through the Integrated Remote Console, and  faster  time to resolution with proactive email noti?cations. The iLO Advanced license, for Enterprise businesses, grants premium remote functionality such as graphic remote console with multi-user collaboration, video record/playback, and  many  more  advanced features. iLO makes managing your server easier than  ever before.

Summary

The HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9  server is a superbly adaptable system with a compact 2U chassis and  the right mix of storage and memory for a range of common, and  compute intensive applications. Easy to con?gure using  HPs agile infrastructure management tools,  this system is a great  ?t for SMBs and  enterprise organizations that  need a highly adaptable and  scalable server optimized for dense hyper-scale environments.
