Overview
The HPE ProLiant DL385 brings AMD EPYC processors to HPE's proven 2U platform, delivering exceptional core counts and memory bandwidth per server. Nexus Compute sources DL385 systems for workloads that benefit from EPYC's density and value — virtualization, analytics, and core-hungry applications.
Who This Solution Is For
Business Benefits
Exceptional core density
High EPYC core counts host more VMs or threads per server, improving consolidation ratios.
Strong memory bandwidth
EPYC's memory architecture benefits analytics and bandwidth-sensitive workloads.
Licensing efficiency
For some per-socket licensed software, high-core single sockets can reduce license costs.
HPE management and support
EPYC performance with the familiar iLO and OneView ecosystem.
Typical Business Use Cases
Core-dense virtualization and VDI
Analytics and in-memory workloads
Containerized platforms needing high thread counts
General compute favoring AMD EPYC value

Frequently Asked Questions
AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon — how do we decide?
EPYC typically wins on core density, memory bandwidth, and per-core value; Xeon can lead on certain single-thread and Intel-specific features. We advise based on your workload and software.
Does EPYC affect software compatibility?
Modern enterprise software runs on EPYC without issue. For specific certified applications we confirm support during the quote.
Can it reduce our licensing costs?
In some per-socket licensing scenarios, high-core single-socket EPYC configurations reduce license counts. We help model this.
