Performance
The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 stands as one of the most powerful server solutions in the refurbished market, delivering high compute power and scalability. It supports up to four Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, either 1st or 2nd Generation, giving users a choice of processor configurations based on workload demands. Each processor can have between 4 and 28 physical cores, and with hyper-threading, virtual thread counts range from 8 up to 56 threads per processor.
When fully configured with four 28-core processors, this server can reach an impressive 112 physical cores and 224 virtual threads, maximising per-core compute performance for applications that demand parallel processing.
The DL580 Gen10 is designed for high-computation environments, making it well-suited for tasks such as data analytics, scientific simulations, and virtualised infrastructures. With support for up to 12 hot-plug redundant fans (in an 11 + 1 setup), it provides efficient airflow and consistent cooling, even during peak performance. This configurable cooling system allows you to tailor the setup to meet specific demands. The redundancy in fan configuration ensures that the server continues running smoothly, even if a fan requires maintenance—an essential feature for data centres where minimising downtime is critical.
Memory
The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 offers exceptional memory scalability. Each of the four CPU sockets on this server supports 6 memory channels with 2 DIMM slots per channel, giving a total of 12 slots per socket and up to 48 active DIMM slots when fully populated. The system supports both Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) and Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs), with speeds of up to 2666MHz.
For maximum DRAM capacity, the DL580 Gen10 can utilise 48 x 128GB DDR4 DRAM modules across all slots, delivering a memory footprint of 6TB.
Storage
The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 delivers impressive storage scalability, significantly expanding on the capabilities of its predecessor, the DL580 Gen9. Where the Gen9 model supported up to 10 drives, the DL580 Gen10 accommodates up to 48 x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives at the front. This increase in storage flexibility allows the DL580 Gen10 to handle larger datasets, making it ideal for data-intensive applications.
If configured with 48 drives, the optional Universal Media Bay is unavailable, as it occupies part of the drive cage. However, the flexibility to intermix drive types, such as SATA, SAS, and NVMe, provides versatile options for tiered storage setups, enabling organisations to optimise for performance or capacity based on their needs.
The DL580 Gen10 comes with integrated RAID support for up to 10 SATA drives. For more advanced configurations, Bargain Hardware offers optional RAID controllers, which support a broader range of drive types and include battery backup options.
Scalability & Expansion
The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 is designed with significant scalability and expansion capabilities to meet evolving enterprise demands. With 16x PCIe Gen 3.0 slots available in a four-processor configuration, this server provides extensive room for additional components, making it adaptable for a wide range of applications.
For those looking to enhance the graphical capabilities of the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10, Bargain Hardware offers an extensive range of graphics cards that can be configured with this server. Options include powerful Nvidia models, making it adaptable for graphics-intensive tasks such as rendering, AI, and data visualisation.
Management & Security
The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 offers robust management and security capabilities that streamline system administration while bolstering data protection. Central to its management suite are HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 5.0 and HPE OneView, two tools that simplify the configuration, monitoring, and optimisation of server resources. Together, they give IT teams comprehensive, centralised control over infrastructure, enabling efficient resource allocation and system management.
HPE OneView, an integral part of HPE’s Composable strategy, allows rapid configuration and reconfiguration of server assets, making it easy to adjust resource allocations to meet changing demands.
On the security front, the DL580 Gen10 incorporates Silicon Root of Trust, HPE’s embedded security framework that validates the integrity of system firmware from the very foundation. This multi-layered approach to security protects the server against firmware tampering and ensures reliable data integrity throughout the system’s lifecycle.
