HPE P86710-005 — ProLiant DL380 Gen11 4510 NVMe 8×SFF Server
What it is
P86710-005 is an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 preconfigured 2U enterprise rack server built for high-performance compute, flash-optimized storage, and mixed workloads.
This configuration pairs an Intel Xeon 4510 processor with an NVMe-ready 8×SFF (2.5") hot-swap chassis that’s designed to support high-speed NVMe SSDs for maximum throughput and low latency. It uses Network Choice (NC) networking flexibility so you can pick the NIC/OCP adapter that fits your environment’s speed and topology.
Why buyers pick P86710-005 (plain English)
NVMe-optimized storage: With support for NVMe SSDs in all 8 SFF slots, this server delivers very high I/O performance for virtualization, databases, analytics, and caching.
Balanced enterprise compute: The Intel Xeon 4510 provides dependable performance for mixed workloads without overspending.
Flexible networking: Network Choice (NC) lets you choose 1G/10G/25G (or beyond) NICs to match your switching fabric.
Compact 2U form factor: DL380 Gen11 gives strong performance and expansion in a standard 2U rack footprint.
Flash-ready from the start: Designed for NVMe drives out of the box — no adapters required for high-speed storage (depending on build).
