HPE HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 — Full Technical Specifications
The ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is HPE's flagship two-socket rack server and the machine most often weighed against Dell's R760 when a tender goes out to both. Within the Gen11 line it is the general-purpose option: broad enough for virtualisation, databases and accelerated work, and specified so widely that a proven configuration for almost any of them already exists.
This listing covers new build-to-order supply and the refurbished units coming back from estates that refreshed early.

Full Specifications
Read the storage row against the controller row before anything else — Gen11 moved to tri-mode controllers and drives, and a chassis populated one way will not take the other without changing both. Slots and OCP positions then decide networking for the life of the machine, because the OCP seat is what makes a fast adapter cheap while the alternative consumes a slot an accelerator may later want. The security row is not marketing on this generation: a silicon root of trust is why some buyers specify HPE at all, and it is the line to check against a policy rather than against a competitor. Memory and processors are ordinary headroom and can wait.
