HPE P83303-005 — ProLiant DL380 Gen11 5515+ MR408i-o NA 8×SFF Server (64GB)
What it is
P83303-005 is an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 preconfigured 2U enterprise rack server designed for virtualization, application hosting, database workloads, and general-purpose compute.
This configuration pairs an Intel Xeon 5515+ processor with 64 GB of DDR5 memory, an HPE MR408i-o hardware RAID controller, and an 8×SFF (2.5") hot-swap chassis. It uses NA (Network Adapter) slots so you can install the networking module that best fits your environment.
Why buyers pick P83303-005 (plain English)
Strong balanced compute: The Intel Xeon 5515+ delivers a solid mix of cores and performance for mixed workloads.
64 GB RAM included: Enough memory out of the box for virtualization, mid-tier databases, and general enterprise apps.
SSD-optimized layout: Eight hot-swap SFF bays make it easy to build fast flash storage tiers for boot, VM datastores, and application data.
Hardware RAID included: The MR408i-o controller provides robust RAID levels for data protection and performance optimization.
Networking flexibility: NA slots let you choose the appropriate NIC (1G/10G/25G) or OCP adapter for your network fabric.
