Applications, trade-offs and selection guide

Choose the platform for the workload

For virtualization, start with VM count, RAM, growth and storage needs. Databases and business software also depend on disk latency, application behavior and licensing. The same platform with different CPUs and drives can have very different performance and cost.

Chassis, expansion and installation

Choose SFF/LFF bays and backplane before ordering. Rack, tower and blade platforms have different installation needs. Check rack depth, rails, power, airflow and noise at the installation site. Blade servers also need a compatible enclosure and shared infrastructure.

What an exact quotation should contain

List the exact model, CPUs, RAM type/capacity, drives/carriers, RAID, NICs, PSUs and management licences. Specify condition, health testing, included accessories, warranty terms and delivery time for that exact configuration.

About this server

The DL360 Gen9 is the half-height DL380; dual-socket, DDR4 and iLO 4, for dense virtualization and space-tight colocation at the lowest cost.

When rack space is tight but you still need dual-socket power, the DL360 Gen9 is the logical answer. It packs all of its bigger sibling's compute (Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4, up to 44 cores and 3 TB DDR4) into half the height — so you can fit twice as many servers in a standard rack.

It is ideal for hosting providers, virtualization nodes and environments with limited inbound power and floor space. The 1U thermal design means faster fans and a little more noise — a small price for high density. Like all our servers, it ships fully tested and warrantied.

Analysis & review

Strengths

  • Dual-socket power in half the rack space
  • Up to 44 cores and 3 TB DDR4
  • Ideal for virtualization nodes and hosting providers
  • iLO 4 and RAID controller with battery-backed cache
  • Big savings on rack space and colocation cost

Worth noting

  • Louder and faster fans due to the 1U height
  • Fewer internal drive bays than the 2U model
  • Not suited to GPU accelerators (limited card space)
