HPE P89997-005 — ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 with Intel Xeon 6530P, 64GB DDR5, 8SFF
What it is
P89997-005 is an HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 1U rack server built for enterprise virtualization, general compute, databases, infrastructure workloads, and space-constrained data centers.
It comes with 1 × Intel Xeon 6530P 32-core processor, 64GB DDR5 memory, an 8SFF drive chassis, HPE MR408i-o storage controller, NS204i-u v2 boot device, and dual 1000W Titanium hot-plug power supplies.
Why buyers pick P89997-005 (plain English)
Strong 32-core CPU: The included Intel Xeon 6530P gives you 32 cores at 2.30 GHz, making this a strong fit for virtualization, application hosting, and mixed enterprise workloads.
Ready with 64GB DDR5: It ships with 2 × 32GB DDR5 SmartMemory, so it is usable out of the box while still leaving room for expansion.
8SFF storage flexibility: The chassis supports up to 8 Small Form Factor drives, letting you build SSD, SAS, or mixed storage configurations around your workload.
Dedicated boot storage: The included NS204i-u v2 provides a separate NVMe boot device so your operating system does not have to occupy the main front-drive bays.
Enterprise RAID controller included: The MR408i-o controller provides hardware RAID capability with 4GB cache.
Redundant power: Dual 1000W Titanium hot-plug power supplies give you enterprise-grade power redundancy.

- Application servers
- Database workloads
- General enterprise compute
- High-density rack deployments
- Customers replacing older DL360 Gen10 / Gen11 systems
Choose something else if:
- You need more internal drive capacity → consider a DL380 Gen12
- You need included production drives → choose a preconfigured model with SSDs or HDDs
- You need higher network bandwidth out of the box → add a 10/25/100GbE adapter or choose a configuration that includes one
- You need more CPU cores → choose a higher-core Xeon 6 configuration
- You need dual processors → consider a platform/configuration built for 2P deployment
