Description

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 delivers modern enterprise computing performance in a compact 1U rack-mount chassis. It is engineered for organizations that require high compute density, advanced I/O capabilities, strong security, and efficient utilization of data-center rack space.

With support for the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processor generations, DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5, and high-speed storage, the DL360 Gen11 provides a significant technology upgrade over previous ProLiant generations.

Advanced Intel Xeon Processing

The DL360 Gen11 supports 4th and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.

The dual-socket architecture allows organizations to install one or two processors depending on workload requirements.

These processors provide high core counts and advanced performance for:

• Enterprise virtualization
• Cloud infrastructure
• Databases
• Artificial intelligence
• Machine learning
• Data analytics
• High-performance computing
• Enterprise applications

The platform can therefore be configured for either general-purpose enterprise workloads or highly parallel compute-intensive applications.

High-Speed DDR5 Memory

The DL360 Gen11 incorporates DDR5 memory technology, providing higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with DDR4-based previous-generation servers.

The server provides 16 DIMM slots, supporting high-capacity ECC memory configurations.

Depending on the selected processor and memory modules, the platform can support substantial memory capacity for:

• Virtual machines
• Databases
• Analytics
• In-memory applications
• AI workloads
• Large enterprise applications

ECC memory helps protect data integrity and improve system reliability.

PCIe Gen5 Connectivity

A major feature of the DL360 Gen11 is its support for PCIe Gen5, providing substantially higher I/O bandwidth than previous-generation PCIe technologies.

PCIe Gen5 can be used for high-performance:

• NVMe storage
• Network adapters
• Fibre Channel adapters
• RAID/storage controllers
• GPU and accelerator hardware
• Other PCIe expansion devices

This makes the server well suited to modern data-intensive workloads.

Flexible Storage

The DL360 Gen11 provides flexible storage configurations using modern enterprise storage technologies.

Depending on the chassis and backplane, supported storage can include:

• NVMe SSDs
• SAS SSDs
• SATA SSDs
• SAS HDDs
• SATA HDDs

NVMe configurations provide low-latency and high-throughput storage for demanding applications such as databases, virtualization, analytics, and AI.

The exact number and type of supported drives depend on the selected chassis and storage backplane.

HPE Smart Array Storage

The server supports HPE Smart Array controllers for enterprise storage management and RAID functionality.

Depending on the installed controller, supported RAID configurations can include:

• RAID 0
• RAID 1
• RAID 5
• RAID 6
• RAID 10
• RAID 50
• RAID 60

The exact RAID capabilities depend on the selected controller and drive configuration.

High-Speed Networking

The DL360 Gen11 supports a broad range of high-performance networking options.

Depending on configuration, available networking technologies can include:

• 1Gb Ethernet
• 10Gb Ethernet
• 25Gb Ethernet
• Higher-speed Ethernet adapters
• Fibre Channel
• Flexible networking adapters

This enables the server to operate effectively in enterprise LAN, SAN, virtualization, and high-performance networking environments.

HPE iLO 6 Management

The DL360 Gen11 incorporates HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) for secure remote management.

IT administrators can remotely:

• Monitor server health
• Access the server console
• Control system power
• Monitor hardware
• Manage firmware
• Troubleshoot system issues
• Perform remote administration

iLO 6 also provides enhanced security and management capabilities for modern enterprise data centers.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 Security

The DL360 Gen11 incorporates HPE’s modern server security architecture, including HPE Silicon Root of Trust technologies.

Security capabilities are designed to help protect the server against firmware-level threats and unauthorized firmware modifications.

This makes the platform suitable for environments where infrastructure security is a major consideration.

Compact 1U Rack Design

The DL360 Gen11 is designed around a 1U rack form factor, maximizing compute density while minimizing rack-space requirements.

This is particularly valuable for:

• Data centers
• Colocation facilities
• Cloud infrastructure
• Enterprise server rooms
• High-density virtualization clusters

The compact chassis allows organizations to deploy significant processing capability without consuming the rack space required by larger 2U systems.

Enterprise Reliability

The DL360 Gen11 is designed for continuous enterprise operation and supports features such as:

• ECC memory
• Hot-plug storage options
• Redundant power supplies
• Hot-plug fans
• HPE Smart Array RAID
• HPE iLO 6
• Enterprise-class networking
• Advanced hardware monitoring

These capabilities help organizations maintain availability and simplify maintenance.

Ideal Applications

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 is well suited for:

• Enterprise virtualization
• VMware environments
• Microsoft Hyper-V
• Cloud infrastructure
• Database servers
• AI and machine learning
• Data analytics
• High-performance computing
• Web and application servers
• ERP systems
• Private cloud
• Containerized workloads
• Server consolidation
• Enterprise data centers
