P53925-B21 HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 8LFF CTO 2u Rack Mount Server

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 (P53925-B21) is a specialized 2U dual-processor rack server engineered to deliver a perfect synergy between massive AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series compute performance and high-capacity storage. This 8LFF (Large Form Factor) chassis is the premier choice for data-heavy applications, such as software-defined storage (SDS), big data analytics, and backup/archiving solutions that require the physical volume of 3.5-inch drives. As a Configure-to-Order (CTO) model, it provides a robust, high-performance foundation that allows enterprise architects to leverage the immense PCIe Gen5 lane count of the AMD platform while tailoring the storage and memory footprint to specific business requirements.

• Exceptional Core Density: Supporting up to 256 physical cores in a single 2U chassis, this server provides unmatched thread counts for massive virtualization consolidation and parallel processing.

• PCIe 5.0 Data Fabric: Fully utilizes PCIe Gen5 technology, doubling the I/O bandwidth of previous generations to support ultra-fast 200G/400G networking and the newest NVMe controllers.

• 12-Channel Memory Architecture: Each AMD processor utilizes 12 memory channels, ensuring that high-core-count CPUs have the necessary bandwidth to prevent data bottlenecks in complex simulations.

• Optimized Storage Bandwidth: The backplane is designed to handle the high-throughput requirements of modern SAS4 and SATA drives, ensuring rapid data access for storage-intensive workloads.

• Immutable Security Layer: Anchored by the HPE Silicon Root of Trust and the AMD Secure Processor, providing hardware-validated protection for firmware and encrypted virtualization environments.

• Cost-Effective Storage Expansion: The 8LFF layout is the gold standard for High-Capacity Storage, providing a lower cost-per-GB while maintaining the compute power of a flagship server.

• Cloud-Native Management: Managed via the HPE GreenLake platform, offering a unified console for automated deployment, global fleet monitoring, and seamless lifecycle orchestration.

• Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: The 2U chassis and LFF drive spacing promote superior airflow, allowing the server to maintain peak performance even under maximum CPU and storage loads.
