HPE rack server overview


The HPE DL family of servers are the most flexible, reliable, and performance-optimized ProLiant rack servers.

The DL gen 10 and gen 9 are the main available servers in today's server network.

HPE ProLiant DL Gen 10

DL Gen 10 is the latest generation of rack servers. It delivers a more reliable, fast, and secure infrastructure solution, helps increase IT staff productivity, and accelerates service delivery.

The HPE ProLiant Gen10 rack portfolio delivers:

  • Up to 71% performance increase and 27% increase in core with the new Intel Xeon Scalable

processors2

  • Up to 27X faster checkpoint operations enabling significantly faster business operations3
  • 66% greater memory bandwidth increasing application performance for memory-intensive

applications4

  • 14% more processor cores for greater VM density and 33% greater memory capacity for better

VM performance and price/performance using AMD EPYC processors

 

HPE Proliant DL Gen 9

The HPE ProLiant Gen9 rack aserver delivers the right compute for the right workload at the right economics—every time.

They are built to excel for any size business, for any size workload, in any environment with:

  • 66X faster service delivery with simple automation, saving admin time, and reducing errors

from manual steps6

  • 4X faster workload performance to transform the business, growing revenue, margin, and share

HPE ProLiant rack servers are available in a variety of platforms to support different compute needs and workloads.

The following charts will help you compare the offerings within the HPE ProLiant rack families.
