P53921-B21 HPE Server HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 8SFF CTO Server dual processor powerhouse

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 (P53921-B21) is a world-class 2U dual-processor powerhouse built on the cutting-edge AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series architecture. This 8SFF (Small Form Factor) chassis is engineered for organizations that demand elite compute density and massive memory bandwidth for virtualization, high-performance computing (HPC), and data-intensive private clouds. As a Configure-to-Order (CTO) model, it serves as a high-performance foundation that allows enterprise architects to leverage the immense PCIe Gen5 lane count of the AMD platform, tailoring every component to meet the most rigorous enterprise Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

• Massive Thread Density: Leveraging 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, this 2U server can support up to 256 physical cores, providing unrivaled thread counts for dense virtual machine (VM) consolidation and containerized workloads.

• PCIe 5.0 Data Fabric: Fully utilizes PCIe Gen5 lanes, offering double the I/O bandwidth of previous generations to support 200G/400G networking and the fastest NVMe storage controllers.

• 12-Channel Memory Bandwidth: The AMD architecture utilizes 12 memory channels per processor, ensuring the CPU is never starved of data even during complex, large-scale simulations or in-memory database tasks.

• Accelerator Ready: The spacious 2U chassis is designed to support multiple GPU accelerators, making it a robust platform for AI inference, machine learning, and high-end VDI.

• Immutable Security Layer: Anchored by the HPE Silicon Root of Trust and the AMD Secure Processor, providing multi-layered protection for firmware and encrypted virtualization (SEV-SNP).

• Exceptional Scalability: Offers a massive leap in I/O and storage expansion compared to 1U alternatives, allowing for future-proof growth as your data center requirements evolve.

• Unified Cloud Experience: Managed via the HPE GreenLake platform, offering a "cloud-like" management console for automated deployment, global fleet monitoring, and seamless firmware updates.

• Optimized TCO: The 5nm process technology of the EPYC processors delivers industry-leading performance-per-watt, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership for power-conscious enterprises.
