HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 9115 3.2GHz 16c 64GB 960GB SSD Rack Server

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 9115 is a 1U, single-processor rack server designed for virtualized and software-defined compute workloads. Equipped with an AMD EPYC processor, 64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 960 GB SSD, it balances compute, memory and network bandwidth in a compact 1U chassis. The server supports modern I/O with PCIe Gen5, EDSFF storage, hot-pluggable RAID M.2 boot options, and HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) for remote management. Built with platform security features including a silicon root of trust and support for high-wattage processors with optional closed-loop liquid cooling, it targets virtualization, VDI, CDN and secure edge applications that require efficient 1P performance.

Advantages

This 1U 1P design provides a cost-efficient performance point for dense virtualized environments, delivering a balance of processor capacity, memory bandwidth and network I/O. Support for up to 12 DDR5 DIMMs per processor (up to 3 TB on higher-end SKUs), PCIe Gen5 expansion, EDSFF drives and dual-front GPU capability enables scalable performance and modern storage options. Integrated iLO 6 simplifies secure remote configuration, monitoring and firmware updates, while silicon root of trust enhances firmware integrity and boot security.

Suitable for

• Virtualized server farms and hyperconverged infrastructure
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
• Content delivery and edge caching (CDN/edge apps)
• Software-defined compute and multitenant hosts

Key specifications

• Processor family: AMD EPYC (Gen4/Gen5 EPYC 9004/9005 series compatible)
• Processor example: AMD EPYC 9115, up to 3.2 GHz nominal (model dependent)
• Internal memory: 64 GB DDR5 (2 x 32 GB installed; supports up to 12 DIMMs per processor on some configurations)
• Total storage capacity: 960 GB SSD (EDSFF or 2 x internal drives depending on configuration)
• Chassis type: Rack (1U)
• Power supply: 1000 W
• Weight: 27.12 kg

How to use

Install the server in a standard 19-inch rack using the included rail kit and connect required power and network cabling. Use iLO 6 to perform initial configuration, firmware updates and remote monitoring. Populate additional DIMMs, drives or PCIe cards as required for your workload; ensure firmware and drivers match the hardware configuration. Configure storage and RAID using the server management interface or supported RAID controllers, and deploy your hypervisor or operating system according to vendor guidelines.

Recommendations

For virtualization and VDI workloads, configure sufficient memory and CPU cores to match virtual machine density and enable PCIe Gen5 expansion or EDSFF drives where higher I/O and storage density are needed. Use iLO 6 to maintain firmware currency and leverage silicon root of trust to ensure boot integrity. For high-wattage CPU options, consider the closed-loop liquid cooling heat sink to maintain thermal headroom.
