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 DL360p Gen8 delivers the DL380p's budget value in 1U; ideal for network services, firewalls and space-tight environments on a limited budget.

Sometimes you need a small, cheap, space-saving server that just does one or two specific jobs reliably: a software firewall or router, a DNS/DHCP server, a monitoring node or a test environment. The DL360p Gen8 is exactly that; dual Xeon E5 v1/v2 sockets and DDR3 in a slim 1U chassis at the lowest possible price.

Despite the small size, it still has full iLO 4 management and a RAID controller, so you can run it entirely remotely. For anyone stepping into servers for the first time or on a very tight budget, this is the cheapest way to own a real 1U enterprise machine.

Analysis & review

Strengths

  • Lowest price and smallest rack footprint
  • Great for firewall, DNS/DHCP, monitoring and testing
  • Full remote management with iLO 4
  • Dual-socket with enough power for light services
  • Lower consumption than 2U models under light load

Worth noting

  • DDR3 and older-generation CPUs
  • Limited internal drives and expansion slots
  • 1U fans get noisy under high load
