P02985-B21, HPE DL560 Gen10 Server, Intel Xeon Platinum 8268, 2.9GHz 24-core, 205W

The HPE P02985-B21 is a high‑performance server processor kit designed for dense, business‑critical workloads in HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 servers. Powered by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8268, it delivers strong multi‑core performance with a 2.9 GHz base frequency and 24-core architecture, making it suitable for virtualization clusters, database servers, and consolidated application environments. This kit is built for data centers and enterprises across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America that need consistent performance, predictable latency, and easy scalability in a standard x86 server platform.

For distributors and resellers, the P02985-B21 offers a clear value point in the DL560 Gen10 portfolio: a proven 4-socket capable CPU option with enhanced energy efficiency and integrated security features such as Intel AES-NI and Intel Secure Key. Its support for DDR4 memory and 64-bit instruction set helps integrators design solutions that balance performance and cost while keeping to common, widely available components. The standard thermal solution and HPE server compatibility also simplify stocking, configuration, and after‑sales support.

For small and mid-size system integrators, this processor kit helps build compact but powerful servers for virtualization, private cloud, or line-of-business applications. With Intel Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technologies, the CPU can handle mixed workloads while maintaining stability in multi-tenant environments. Virtualization technology support ensures smooth operation with mainstream hypervisors used in regional markets, so partners can design repeatable configurations for enterprise network cores, data center nodes, or branch consolidation servers.

End users benefit from a robust platform that can grow with their business. The 24-core design allows more virtual machines per host, reducing hardware footprint in server rooms and colocation racks. Enhanced energy efficiency helps lower operational costs, which is important where power prices and cooling capacity are a concern. Because the P02985-B21 is tailored for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10, customers gain predictable performance, integrated management, and easier lifecycle planning without complex custom engineering.
