Description
The HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 targets mainstream enterprise AI teams that want density without altering their rack configurations. This 4U, air-cooled chassis drops in cleanly, supports up to eight double-wide GPUs, and offers PCIe Gen5 throughout. It can be configured with dual Intel Xeon 6 CPUs, each with up to 144 cores, 4TB of DDR5 across 32 DIMMs, and sixteen E3.S NVMe bays for high throughput and capacity. The goal is straightforward: to achieve production-grade inference and focused fine-tuning at scale without venturing into liquid-cooled territory.
