In this Chalk Talk, we’re going to look at the HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers
with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.
First I want to point you to several recent HPE ProLiant Chalk Talks I’ve done.
The overview looks at HPE ProLiant compute engineered for your hybrid world and the
three guiding principles of an intuitive cloud operating environment, trusted security by design,
and optimize performance for your workloads. I have a link to a playlist in the description
of this video with these recent Chalk Talks which along with the overview includes
iLO 6, HPE GreenLake Compute Ops Management, Trusted Supply Chain, and more. So check them out.
This Chalk Talk is loaded with information on the screen so have your hand ready on
the pause button. I want to start with showing you the feature evolution with our Intel-based
HPE ProLiant DL servers. I’m showing some of the specs from Gen10 and Gen10 Plus and the
last column is the same specs for Gen11 – you can see in bold what has changed.
Let’s look at the Intel-based HPE ProLiant Gen11 rack servers
in the portfolio and this is as of March 2023. • There’s the edge optimized DL320 – ideal for
software defined compute and data management with a compact footprint and single socket density.
• Next is the density optimized DL360 – for IT infrastructure, general purpose virtualization
and NVMe accelerated storage. • Next, one of my favorites DL380,
a work horse for multi-workloads that run enterprise business. High storage
capacity and scalable for diverse workloads. • And brand new to the portfolio is the GPU
optimized DL380a with extended GPU scalability with up to 4 double wide accelerators.
HPE ProLiant Gen11 can support a broad workload ecosystem: private and hybrid cloud, containers,
AI/ML and data analytics, and VDI – all from lots of ISV partners.
So let’s look at each of these rack servers – and again, have your finger on the pause button
as I won’t talk about everything you can see. I’ll start with the HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11.
It is a scalable and cost optimized server for your virtualized and software-defined compute
workloads. Of course it’s powered with the latest 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable
Processors with up to 32 cores, up to 2TBs of DDR5 memory, 2x16 PCIe Gen5 and 1 OCP3.0 slots,
and all of these servers have the new iLO 6 and our Silicon Root of Trust anchors
the server firmware to an HPE-exclusive ASIC. Next, the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11. It’s a 1U
rack-optimized, scalable, compute-dense solution for high-performance workloads like VDI, EDA, CAD,
and more. It supports up to 60 cores with the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with 2P
compute capability, up to 4TB of DDR5 memory per socket, and up to 3 x16 PCIe Gen5 and 2
OCP slots, iLO 6 and Silicon Root of Trust. Now, the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is scalable
server to power your data-intense, large-capacity workloads. It’s a 2U 2P solution with exceptional
compute performance expandability, and scalability with up to 60 cores, up to 4TB DDR5 memory per
socket, up to 8 x16 PCIe Gen5 and 2 OPC 3.0 slots, and again iLO 6 and Silicon Root of Trust.
The last rack server is new to the server portfolio to power next generation workloads.
The HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 – the a stands for accelerator optimized for
GPU-intensive applications. It supports up to 4 double-wide GPUs in a dense 2U 2P form factor.
It has scalability up to 56 cores, up to 4 x16 Gen5 PCIe slots
(2 x16 are for NVMe), up to 2 x16 OCP3 slots, max of 1.5TB DDR5 per
socket, iLO 6 and Silicon Root of Trust. And I want to make sure you know about an
Intel-based tower server, the HPE ProLiant ML 350 Gen11 – ideal for SMB and remote offices,
it’s a robust and flexible tower for a wide range of workloads.
It combines power and energy efficient in a 2P tower form factor. Here’s a closer look at its
specs. Up to 60 cores, up to 8 TB DDR5 memory,
up to 10 PCIe Gen5, 2 OCP3 slots, GPU support, iLO 6 and Silicon Root of Trust.
Lastly, there’s a new HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 compute module. It’s great for
creating pools of flexible compute capacity with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
has exceptional performance in a two-socket, half-height form factor with up to 56 cores,
and up to 4TB DDR5 memory per socket. And now with up to 3 PCIe 5 mezzanine slots along with
HPE Synergy Virtual Connect 100Gb network options removes bottlenecks and increases data throughput.
