HPE P90004-005 ProLiant DL380 Gen12 2U Rack Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12, ordered as P90004-005 (often searched as P90004 005), is a purpose-configured 2U dual-socket-capable rack server built around the AMD EPYC 6515P processor. This specific build ships as a 1-processor configuration with 128GB of registered DDR5 memory across four 32GB DIMMs, a pair of 960GB SSDs for OS or application storage, eight small-form-factor drive bays for additional capacity, the HPE MR408I-O RAID controller for data protection, and dual 1GbE onboard networking — a balanced configuration for virtualization hosts, VMS recording servers, or compute-dense rack deployments where you need a known, factory-tested bill of materials rather than a self-configured build.

Key Features

AMD EPYC 6515P (1P, 2P-capable platform): The EPYC 6515P delivers high core density in a 1-socket configuration — the DL380 Gen12 chassis supports a second processor if workload demands grow, so you're not boxed in at procurement. Relevant for surveillance VMS deployments where per-channel CPU overhead accumulates quickly across dozens of streams.

128GB DDR5 across 4x32GB RDIMMs: Ships with substantial registered memory headroom for hypervisor overhead, multiple VMs, or memory-hungry analytics workloads. DDR5 bandwidth improvements over DDR4 matter in throughput-bound recording scenarios.

2x960GB SSD (factory-installed): These drives are the OS/boot or caching tier — not the primary retention pool. On a VMS server, you'd configure the SSD pair as a RAID-1 OS volume and populate the remaining 8 SFF bays with high-capacity nearline SAS or SSD for recording storage.

8 Small-Form-Factor Drive Bays: Eight SFF bays in a 2U chassis gives you flexibility to mix SSDs and HDDs. Size your retention pool against your camera count, resolution, and retention window — HPE's storage configurator can estimate raw capacity needs.

HPE MR408I-O RAID Controller (OCP): The MR408I-O is an OCP-form-factor RAID controller with onboard cache, supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and more. Provides hardware-level data protection for your recording storage without relying on OS software RAID.

Dual 1GbE Onboard Networking: Two onboard 1GbE ports handle management and standard IP camera network traffic. For high-density camera deployments on a flat network, consider adding a 10/25GbE PCIe NIC to handle aggregate ingest bandwidth from large camera counts.
