Submit a requestHPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 16NVMe is an accelerator-optimized 4U server storage configuration with sixteen front-accessible EDSFF E3.S NVMe SSD bays. It is designed for AI inference, model serving, accelerated analytics, and HPC environments that require high-throughput local flash storage close to GPU resources.
Key features:
-
16 EDSFF E3.S NVMe bays: Built from four 4EDSFF drive cages, the configuration provides sixteen compact E3.S bays for dense, low-latency NVMe SSD storage.
-
NVMe-only storage architecture: The DL380a Gen12 supports NVMe SSDs in U.3 and E3.S formats only. This 16-bay configuration uses E3.S media and is not intended for SAS or SATA drives.
-
HPE-validated x2 direct-attach topology: The 16EDSFF x2 design uses four 4EDSFF cages and dedicated direct-attach cabling. Rear PCIe and OCP choices are affected by this storage topology and must follow HPE configuration rules.
-
Accelerator-optimized 4U platform: Intel Xeon 6 processor support and capacity for up to ten double-wide PCIe GPUs make the platform suitable for placing fast local NVMe storage alongside demanding accelerator workloads.
-
Enterprise operations and serviceability: Front drive access, HPE iLO 7, and HPE Compute Ops Management help simplify remote administration, lifecycle control, and service operations in production AI infrastructure.
Use cases:
-
AI inference and model serving: Provides high-throughput local storage for model files, vector indexes, prompt data, and inference pipelines running on GPU accelerators.
-
Dataset staging and checkpoints: Suitable for staging training or fine-tuning datasets and storing frequent model checkpoints close to compute resources.
-
Accelerated analytics: Supports data-intensive analytics and GPU-accelerated processing that benefit from low-latency NVMe access.
-
HPC scratch and simulation data: Offers dense local flash capacity for temporary datasets, scratch space, and checkpoint or restart files in technical computing environments.
HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 16NVMe is a high-density EDSFF storage configuration for organizations building accelerator-rich AI and HPC systems that require sixteen E3.S NVMe bays, validated direct-attach connectivity, and enterprise HPE management.
