HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Server
Generation 10 is finally here!
HPE has released its Gen10 Server Portfolio which includes new Micro, Blade and Synergy servers. We take a close look at some of the features to see where performance and security have been increased with this new product line. Last month we had a look at the HP Generation 10 Microserver which got a lot of mixed reactions with HPE choosing to use AMD as their CPU of choice. With the DL380 Proliant being the industry leader we are all interested to find out exactly what the new features are…

Final thoughts…
Well, there is no doubt the Gen10 has improved performance but even for those who have closely followed the generations, there are some questions. I have been asked a few of these myself recently. What exactly is HPE Scalable Persistent Memory? & What are Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors? Just a few more buzz words? No, not quite. Confusing, yes. Have no fear, you are not alone! It didn’t make a great deal sense to us straight away either. The information available out there at the moment is pretty minimal and in some cases a little over technical. So…
We will be following up with a post explaining these new terms. What exactly they mean and how enterprise level computing in, particular will benefit. Gen8 to Gen9 was a fairly obvious transition with faster CPU’s and DDR speeds but this time around you may want to learn a little more about the surrounding technologies to make the Gen10 series work well for you.
