The 10th generation ProLiant Rack servers from HPE can be configured with a variety of Intel Xeon 3100-7100 family processors that have clock speeds ranging from 1.8 – 3.6GHZ, and contain up to 28 cores per processor. With 24 DIMM slots (12 DIMM slots per processor), these servers have immense memory capabilities that can be configured all the way up to 3 TB per server. While the HP ProLiant DL360 Gen10 and DL380 Gen10 share many of the same specifications, there are some major differences between the two. Use the table below to find out which server is the right fit for your business.

Rack Space: 1U vs 2U

One of the main critical differences between the two servers is that the DL360 is a 1U rack while the DL380 is a 2U rack. A 1u rack is better suited for businesses with limited rack space, as you would be able to fit more processors in a cabinet using 1U racks over 2U racks. 1U racks are better suited for high performance computing environments that require high-density computing. A 2U rack, on the other hand, is a great option for those who have large amounts of available rack space to use. 2U racks allow for increased storage capacity and have more disk drive slots and PCIe 3.0 slots than 1U racks. If noise is a factor, a 2U rack will be quieter than a 1U, as the fans in a 1U rack will have to spin faster in order to cool itself down which, in turn, causes the 1U racks to operate at a higher power consumption per rack. A 2U rack has more physical space, so the fans can spin at a lower speed in order to dissipate heat more efficiently.

Storage & PCIe 3.0 Slots

The 1u rack DL360 Gen10 can be configured up to 40TB of storage. On the other hand, the 2u rack DL380 Gen10 boasts a max storage of 459TB. This is the biggest difference between these two models. Although the DL380 G10 takes up twice the amount of rack space, it offers 10x the amount of storage compared to the DL360 G10, offering 5x the amount of storage per rack.

Although both models ship standard with 3 PCIe 3.0 slots, the DL380 G10 can be upgraded to include 3 more slots with an additional PCIe riser. Customize your server with additional GPUs, RAID cards, Wi-Fi cards, or SSDs.

Wrap Up

Combining power & speed, both of these servers excel at performing mission critical applications and both can be used for high-performance computing and virtualization. At the end of the day, choosing between the DL360 and DL380 G10 servers boils down to storage, PCIe 3.0 slots, and whether you want a 1U or a 2U rackmount server.
