HPE HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 — Full Technical Specifications

Core counts in the processor row are high enough that licensing becomes part of the purchase — check what your hypervisor or database charges per core before deciding how far up that row to go, because it can dominate the hardware cost. The drive row is remarkable for the class and offers dual-cage builds that other two-socket machines cannot; those are separate chassis configurations, decided at order. Slots and accelerator support are generous here, so this model stays useful when a plain virtualisation host would have to be replaced. Memory is quoted per socket across many channels, which is where EPYC earns its reputation.
