P53570-001 - HPE ML350 G11 5418Y MR408I-O 8SFF Server

HPE P53570-001 — ProLiant ML350 Gen11 1P Xeon Gold 5418Y (24-core) NC 8×SFF, 32GB, MR408i-o, 800W RPS (Tower)

What it is

An HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 tower server (4U rack-convertible) pre-configured for scalable enterprise compute and storage.
P53570-001 is a Network Choice (NC) build with a single Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y, 8× SFF hot-swap bays, 32GB DDR5, and an HPE MR408i-o Gen11 storage controller. It ships with an 800W redundant power supply (RPS-ready) setup and can scale to dual-socket, more RAM, and larger storage configurations.

Why buyers pick P53570-001 (plain English)

• Tower flexibility with data center guts
  Great for offices/edges that want a tower today but might rack it later.

• Gold-tier 24-core baseline
  Strong starting CPU for virtualization, databases, and mixed enterprise workloads.

• 8×SFF front bay layout
  SSD-friendly build for fast local storage in a manageable footprint.

• Network Choice freedom
  Lets you pick the NIC/uplink approach that matches your standards instead of being locked into one onboard config.

• MR408i-o controller included
  Proper hardware RAID foundation with cache for real-world SAS/SATA/NVMe-ready storage builds.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Branch/edge or office deployments needing tower form factor

• Virtualization hosts, app servers, file/print, light storage nodes

• Customers who want Gold-tier compute and room to grow

Choose something else if:

• You need a compact rack-only footprint → DL360/DL380 Gen11

• You need heavy GPU focus → GPU-optimized ProLiant variants

• You want LFF bays for big HDD pools → ML350 Gen11 LFF configs

TL;DR

P53570-001 is a scalable ML350 Gen11 tower starter build:
1× Xeon Gold 5418Y (24-core), 32GB DDR5, MR408i-o RAID controller, 8×SFF hot-swap chassis, Network Choice NIC flexibility, and 800W RPS-ready power — ideal for branch/office enterprise compute with growth headroom.
