P52562-B21 - HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 4410Y 1P 32G NC 12LFF Server

HPE P52562-B21 — ProLiant DL380 Gen11 1P Xeon Silver 4410Y (12-core) NC 12×LFF, 32GB, 800W

What it is

An HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server pre-configured as a storage-friendly, scalable enterprise workhorse.
P52562-B21 is a Network Choice (NC) build with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y CPU, 12× LFF (3.5") hot-swap bays, 32GB DDR5, and an 800W Flex Slot Platinum PSU. It’s a strong “starter DL380 Gen11” for general compute or virtualization with lots of front-drive capacity, and it can grow into dual-socket and higher-memory configs later.

Why buyers pick P52562-B21 (plain English)

• DL380 Gen11 platform at a sensible entry point
  You get Gen11 security, iLO 6, DDR5, and PCIe Gen5 in a balanced, expandable chassis.

• 12-core Xeon Silver for everyday enterprise roles
  Great for virtualization clusters, app servers, file/print, and mixed workloads without paying Gold-tier pricing.

• 12×LFF drive layout
  Excellent when you want lots of raw capacity (HDD-heavy, backup, storage nodes) in a standard 2U footprint.

• Network Choice flexibility
  Choose the NIC/uplink path that matches your standards (1/10/25Gb via OCP 3.0 or PCIe).

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Capacity-heavy virtualization hosts or storage-dense nodes

• General compute + big local disk needs

• Branch/core racks wanting DL380 Gen11 reliability with room to scale

Choose something else if:

• You want SFF/SSD-dense performance → DL380 Gen11 8×/24×SFF configs

• You need more cores per socket → Xeon Gold starter SKUs

• You need a smaller footprint → DL360 Gen11 (1U)

TL;DR

P52562-B21 is a capacity-friendly DL380 Gen11 starter build:
1× Xeon Silver 4410Y (12-core), 32GB DDR5, Network Choice NIC flexibility, 12×LFF hot-swap chassis, and an 800W Platinum PSU — ideal for scalable enterprise compute with lots of front-bay storage.
