HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 Rack Mount 2U

HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10

A high-density four-socket ProLiant for serious scale-up workloads in a 2U chassis.

HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 is a different class of server: not simply a larger DL380, but a four-socket platform for workloads that need more CPU and memory density.

Enterprise class

A server-grade platform with management, redundancy and service logic depending on the exact configuration.

CTO approach

Can be configured around workload, budget, availability and warranty requirements.

Refurbished value

As a refurbished server, it provides access to higher-class hardware at a more rational cost.

Infrastructure predictability

More suitable than consumer or entry-level equipment when the system must run continuously.

Large virtualization hosts

When consolidation on fewer, more powerful machines is preferable.

Databases and in-memory workloads

For environments that benefit from more sockets and a larger memory footprint.

Enterprise applications

For demanding business systems that require a scale-up approach.

Large labs and testing

When a more serious infrastructure needs to be simulated on one powerful server.

Strong for larger virtualization environments where more CPU resources are needed in a single 2U server.

Suitable for specialized private cloud roles, while scale-out clouds often use more 1U or 2U dual-socket nodes.

Not storage-first; its strength is scale-up compute rather than maximum local disk capacity.

Can run backup orchestration, proxy or heavy processing roles, but large low-cost repositories are better served by storage models.

Usually too powerful and specialized for typical edge sites, except where heavy local processing is required.

Suitable for CPU-heavy scientific, engineering and analytical workloads that benefit from scale-up processing.

One of its strongest scenarios: heavy business systems requiring high compute concentration in one server.

Very strong for large databases and in-memory workloads with proper CPU, RAM and storage sizing.

Can host web services, but is usually oversized for a standard web server.

Useful for CPU inference or data preprocessing; not a first choice for GPU-heavy training.

Very suitable for analytics, large calculations and memory or CPU dependent data workloads.

Not a typical CDN or cache node; smaller and more economical nodes are usually more practical.

Can support large mail or archiving environments, but is often more powerful than a standard mail server needs.

Valuable for testing heavy enterprise applications, databases and simulations; not needed for ordinary development.

Can host backend processes, but is not a rational first choice for standard game servers.

Suitable for centralized processing of large IoT streams, not for small edge gateway roles.

Can support large collaboration platforms, while smaller environments are usually better served by the DL380.

Suitable for analytics and centralized processing; pure video storage favors storage-first models.

Not rational as a standalone load balancer; its value is in heavy compute and database roles.

Can handle transcoding and backend tasks, but large libraries need a dedicated storage design.

Very strong for heavy ERP, CRM, VDI control or compute roles and large enterprise applications.

Very suitable for in-memory cache when the configuration has large RAM capacity and the workload justifies it.

It can run file services, but its stronger role is in compute-heavy, database and enterprise application workloads.

Suitable for DNS, DHCP, Active Directory/LDAP and infrastructure services, although it is often more powerful than needed for that role alone.
