Standard Features

Security - Trusted

Trusted Platform Module option kit

Platform Module

The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microcontroller chip that can securely store artifacts used

 

 

to authenticate the server platform. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates and

 

encryption keys. Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is a data protection feature

 

available in Windows Server® 2008. BitLocker leverages the enhanced security capabilities of a

 

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2. The TPM works with BitLocker to help protect user

 

data and to ensure that a server running Windows Server 2008 has not been tampered with while

 

the system was offline.

 

For more information about TPM, including a white paper, go to: www.hp.com/go/TPM

 

NOTE: ProLiant OS pre-installed units will come with the partition required for TPM deployment.

 

NOTE: The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained. Misplacing or

 

losing the key could result in data loss.

Power Supply

HP has a new design for ProLiant power. The new Common Slot Power Supply bay. This design

 

provides the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on

 

the cost of spares and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs.

 

Many HP ProLiant Servers come with Common Slot, High Efficiency and Right-Size Power

 

Supplies. Common Slot (CS) designates commonality of the power supply across multiple

 

ProLiant servers. HP's new Common Slot power supplies are designed for highest efficiency to

 

provide power efficiency without degrading performance of the ProLiant. Power Supplies will have

 

efficiency ratings up to 92%. There are three Right Size power options available, depending on

 

the configuration of your server. To make sure you select the correct power supply to meet your

 

configuration, we suggest that you use the HP Power Advisor (www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor)

 

to decide the "Right-Size" for your configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE

 

Mark Compliant, Hot Plug and Redundant.

 

 

 

Common Slot ProLiant It is highly recommended that you use the HP Power Calculator in defining the "Right-Size" power supply for your needs. HP offers the following Power Supply Options:

HP 460Watts, Common Slot, 92% Efficiency

HP 750Watts, Common Slot, 92% Efficiency

HP 1200Watts, Common Slot, 90% Efficiency

HP 1200W -48V DC CS Power Supply

HP's ProLiant Common Slot Power supplies (460W & 750W) meet multiple Energy Efficiency Initiatives. Climate Savers Computing Initiative GOLD, ECOS Consulting 80PLUS GOLD and plans on offering models that meet the Energy Star for Server requirements when they are published.

HP's ProLiant Common Slot Power supplies (1200W) meet multiple Energy Efficiency Initiatives. Climate Savers Computing Initiative Bronze, ECOS Consulting 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply requirements.

Redundant Power: Optional (1+ 1 or n+n redundant) power supplies can be purchased through power supply option kits (see Redundant Options for part numbers).

NOTE: BTO Performance models include two power supplies; BTO Base and Entry models include one power supply. On CTO models, power supply must be selected from available

DL385 specifications

The HP DL385 is a robust, versatile server designed primarily for virtualization, database processing, and intensive data applications. This server is well-regarded in environments requiring efficient power management, high performance, and excellent storage capabilities. The DL385 series leverages AMD EPYC processors which provide superior performance and more cores per socket compared to previous generations, thus enhancing multitasking and workload management.

One of the standout features of the HP DL385 is its ability to support large memory configurations. With support for up to 4TB of memory, the server is ideal for memory-intensive applications. Its 8 DIMM slots per CPU, paired with advanced memory technologies, ensure that data is processed quickly when demands peak.

The DL385 also offers outstanding storage options. It supports a variety of drive types, including SSDs and HDDs, and provides flexible RAID configurations for improved data protection and performance. The server can be configured with up to 30TB of storage capacity using dense, high-capacity drives, allowing organizations to handle large volumes of data without compromising access speed.

In terms of management and security, the server comes equipped with HPE's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology, which provides advanced remote management capabilities. This allows IT administrators to monitor the health and performance of the server from anywhere, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency. The iLO also features enhanced security protocols to protect sensitive data against breaches and unauthorized access.

Power efficiency is another key characteristic of the HP DL385. It utilizes advanced power supply options and cooling technologies to reduce energy consumption, which translates to lower operational costs over time. This makes the DL385 an environmentally friendly choice for data centers looking to minimize their carbon footprint.

Scalability is crucial for many organizations, and the HP DL385 excels in this area. It can accommodate future upgrades in CPU, memory, and storage, making it a future-proof investment for businesses anticipating growth. Additionally, its compatibility with HPE's OneView management software provides a streamlined, intuitive approach to resource management.

In conclusion, the HP DL385 is a powerful server that combines high performance, advanced features, and robust security measures. Its ability to handle demanding workloads, coupled with its extensive management options and energy efficiency, makes it an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliability and scalability in their computing solutions.
