HPE P72984-005 — ProLiant DL380 Gen11 4514Y MR408i-o NC 8×SFF Server

What it is

P72984-005 is an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 preconfigured enterprise server built for virtualization, application hosting, and general data center workloads.
This configuration pairs an Intel Xeon 4514Y processor with an HPE MR408i-o hardware RAID controller and an 8-bay SFF (2.5") hot-swap chassis. It uses Network Choice (NC) networking, so the NIC/OCP adapter is selected to match your environment’s speed and topology.

Why buyers pick P72984-005 (plain English)

Balanced Gen11 performance: The Intel Xeon 4514Y delivers reliable multi-core performance for everyday enterprise workloads.

SSD-friendly storage: Eight SFF hot-swap bays make this ideal for flash-optimized storage tiers — boot, VM datastores, or app data.

Hardware RAID included: MR408i-o offers robust RAID levels for data protection and performance optimization.

Network Choice flexibility: Choose the network adapter (1/10/25Gb, etc.) that fits your environment rather than being locked into fixed ports.

Flexible enterprise platform: DL380 is a rack-standard server that scales from SMB to large data center deployments.
