In today’s data-driven world, businesses demand more than just servers — they need reliable, secure, high-performance platforms that scale with growth, support modern workloads, and deliver consistent uptime. Whether you’re running virtualization, databases, ERP systems, cloud workloads, AI inference, or mission-critical enterprise applications, the HPE DL380 and DL560 Gen11 High Performance 2U HS Kits are built to exceed expectations.

At Phonex Technologies, we proudly supply original Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Gen11 servers designed to meet the performance, flexibility, and security requirements of modern enterprises in Kenya and across Africa.

Overview: HPE DL380 vs HPE DL560 Gen11 – What’s the Difference?

Both the HPE DL380 Gen11 and HPE DL560 Gen11 are 2U rack servers built on the latest HPE Gen11 architecture, but they serve slightly different performance needs.

HPE DL380 Gen11

• Industry-leading 2-socket (2P) rack server
• Balanced compute, storage, and expandability
• Ideal for virtualization, databases, VDI, cloud, and enterprise apps

HPE DL560 Gen11

• Powerful 4-socket (4P) rack server
• Extreme compute density in a compact 2U form factor
• Best for large databases, ERP, SAP HANA, in-memory workloads, and analytics

Both models are available as High Performance (HS) Kits, meaning they are optimized for demanding workloads and enterprise environments.

Next-Generation Performance with Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

The HPE DL380/DL560 Gen11 servers are powered by 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, delivering:

• Higher core counts for parallel workloads
• Improved instructions per cycle (IPC)
• Optimized performance per watt
• Advanced AI acceleration features

Whether you’re consolidating workloads or scaling enterprise applications, Gen11 servers deliver faster processing, lower latency, and improved efficiency compared to previous generations.

DDR5 Memory: Faster, Bigger, Smarter

Memory-intensive applications demand speed and capacity. Gen11 servers support DDR5 Smart Memory, offering:

• Up to 5600 MT/s memory speeds
• Increased bandwidth for analytics and databases
• Lower power consumption
• Advanced error detection and correction

With massive memory capacity, the HPE DL380 and DL560 Gen11 servers handle virtual machines, in-memory databases, and real-time analytics with ease.

PCIe Gen5: Future-Ready Expansion

The Gen11 architecture introduces PCIe Gen5, doubling bandwidth compared to Gen4. This means:

• Faster NVMe storage performance
• Improved GPU and accelerator support
• High-speed networking for data-intensive environments

This future-ready design ensures your infrastructure remains relevant for years, even as workloads evolve.

Flexible Storage Options for Every Workload

The High Performance 2U HS Kit supports a wide range of storage configurations, including:

• SAS and SATA drives
• NVMe SSDs for ultra-low latency
• Mixed drive configurations
• Hot-swap drive bays for zero downtime maintenance

From transactional databases to large file storage and backup systems, these servers adapt easily to your business needs.

Built-In Security: HPE Silicon Root of Trust

Security is no longer optional. HPE Gen11 servers feature HPE Silicon Root of Trust, which embeds security directly into the server hardware.

Key security benefits include:

• Protection against firmware attacks
• Automatic detection of compromised components
• Secure recovery to a known-good state
• Compliance with enterprise security standards

This ensures your data, workloads, and infrastructure remain protected from evolving cyber threats.

Advanced Management with HPE iLO 6

Managing enterprise infrastructure shouldn’t be complicated. With HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 6), you gain:

• Remote server management from anywhere
• Real-time health monitoring
• Predictive analytics and alerts
• Secure firmware updates

This reduces operational costs, minimizes downtime, and simplifies IT administration.
