It’s not often that we see an all-new rack server from HPE, but the Compute DL340 Gen12 is the first ProLiant model to offer a single-socket (1P) Intel Xeon-powered solution in a 2U rack chassis. This market space has traditionally been in the hands of HPE. DL345 rack servers, as their AMD EPYC CPUs have the core densities that make them good alternatives to more expensive two-socket (2P) servers.
The DL340 Gen12 targets a wide range of data center and service provider duties, and the high core count of Intel’s Xeon 6 CPUs allows it to offer a balanced combination of performance, storage capabilities and power efficiency. And, of course, the costs. It is supported by many
The memory capacity is good, since regardless of the CPU model chosen, the server can feature up to 4 TB of DDR5 Smart from HPE…
