HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 8SFF CTO Server – 868703-B21

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 8SFF CTO Server, Part Number 868703-B21, is a highly versatile and scalable 2U rack server designed for businesses and enterprise environments that require a flexible server platform. Unlike a pre-configured server, this model is supplied as a Configure-To-Order (CTO) system, allowing the final configuration to be customized according to specific business and workload requirements.

The 868703-B21 features an 8SFF (Small Form Factor) chassis, providing eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. This configuration is suitable for organizations that require high storage density and flexibility. Depending on the selected configuration and compatible hardware, the server can be equipped with enterprise SAS, SATA, and other supported storage options.

As a CTO platform, the server does not include a processor as standard. Customers can configure the system with compatible Intel Xeon Scalable processors based on their performance requirements. This flexibility allows businesses to select an appropriate processor configuration for workloads such as virtualization, databases, cloud infrastructure, enterprise applications, and general-purpose computing.

The system provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, allowing extensive memory configuration and future expansion. The memory configuration can be customized according to the selected processor configuration and business requirements, making the DL380 Gen10 platform suitable for both smaller deployments and demanding enterprise workloads.

For storage management, the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 CTO platform supports configurable storage controller options, including compatible HPE Smart Array controllers. This gives customers the flexibility to select an appropriate RAID and storage solution based on their required performance, capacity, and data protection requirements.

The server includes an embedded HPE 1Gb Ethernet 4-Port 331i network adapter and also supports additional networking options through compatible FlexibleLOM and PCIe expansion cards. This enables businesses to customize network connectivity as their infrastructure and bandwidth requirements grow.

The 2U rack form factor provides excellent expandability while maintaining efficient use of data center rack space. The DL380 Gen10 platform supports compatible PCIe expansion cards, storage controllers, network adapters, and other enterprise hardware components.

For remote management and system administration, the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 features HPE iLO 5 (Integrated Lights-Out) technology. HPE iLO allows IT administrators to remotely monitor and manage the server, helping simplify deployment, maintenance, troubleshooting, and overall server administration.

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 8SFF CTO Server 868703-B21 is an excellent choice for organizations looking for a customizable enterprise server platform. Its configurable processor, memory, storage, RAID, networking, and power options allow customers to build a system specifically suited to their individual requirements.

This server is suitable for a wide range of workloads, including virtualization, business applications, databases, cloud environments, file and print services, enterprise infrastructure, and general-purpose computing.
