About the HPE ProLiant DL385a Gen11

Built for high-performance computing and virtualization workloads that demand massive parallel processing capability, the HPE ProLiant DL385a Gen11 (part number P28499-B21) delivers exceptional multi-socket performance through its dual AMD EPYC 9004 Series (Genoa) processor architecture. This 2U rack-mounted server is engineered for enterprise customers running data-intensive applications, analytics clusters, and consolidated virtual environments where CPU core density and memory bandwidth directly drive business outcomes.

The DL385a Gen11 combines HPE's proven reliability with advanced security and management features, including HPE Silicon Root of Trust and Secure Boot protection built into the firmware. Storage architects and IT infrastructure teams will appreciate the flexible drive configuration supporting up to 24 SFF drive bays with NVMe, SAS, and SATA interfaces, while the hot-plug redundant power supplies and cooling fans ensure continuous uptime. Management is streamlined through HPE iLO 6 (Integrated Lights-Out 6) and compatibility with HPE OneView and HPE GreenLake platforms, enabling centralized control across hybrid environments. Tool-free chassis access accelerates maintenance and component replacement in busy data centers.
