HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 Server
Modern enterprises require infrastructure that balances performance, scalability, and efficiency while remaining compact. The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 delivers on all fronts. As a 1U rackmount server, it is optimized for data-intensive workloads across AI, HPC, virtualization, and enterprise IT environments. With support for 4th and 5th-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen5 expansion, this system is designed to accelerate today’s most demanding applications.
Compute and Memory Performance
The DL360 Gen11 supports up to two Intel Xeon Scalable processors, delivering as many as 64 cores per CPU. Built-in accelerators such as Intel AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions) and QAT (Quick Assist Technology) enable faster AI, analytics, and cryptographic operations.
For memory-intensive applications, the server provides 32 DDR5 DIMM slots, supporting up to 8TB of DDR5 Smart Memory at speeds up to 5600 MT/s. This ensures higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to previous generations, making the DL360 Gen11 suitable for virtualization, databases, and real-time analytics.
Storage and Expansion
Storage flexibility is a core advantage of this server. Depending on the configuration, it supports:
- Up to 20 EDSFF NVMe drives for massive high-speed storage
- Up to 8+2 SFF or 4 LFF drive options (SAS, SATA, NVMe)
- NVMe boot devices with RAID1 for system reliability
Expansion is future-proof with PCIe Gen5 slots, OCP 3.0 NIC support, and compatibility with high-speed networking up to 200GbE. This allows organizations to scale I/O and connectivity in line with evolving workloads.
Cooling and Power Efficiency
The DL360 Gen11 is engineered for thermal efficiency. Configurable fan kits and direct liquid cooling options enable stable operation for high-TDP processors. Power efficiency is achieved with Flex Slot Platinum and Titanium hot-plug power supplies, offering up to 96% efficiency. These designs align with Energy Star 4.0 and EU ErP Lot 9 compliance, reducing operational costs while maintaining reliability.
Security and Management
Security is built in with HPE’s Silicon Root of Trust, TPM 2.0, and support for FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria. Remote management is handled through HPE iLO 6, providing advanced monitoring, firmware updates, and integration with tools like HPE OneView and HPE Compute Ops Management.
Conclusion
The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 stands out as a powerful, versatile, and efficient 1U server. With its combination of Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs, DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5 expandability, and flexible storage, it is engineered for enterprises that demand uncompromised performance in a dense form factor. From cloud-native workloads to AI-driven analytics, the DL360 Gen11 ensures businesses are prepared for the future of compute.
