Key Features

Everything you need in one device

⚙️

Four-Socket Intel Xeon Scalable

Supports 2 or 4 fourth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with 8 to 60 cores per socket, up to 112.5 MB L3 cache. Maximum configuration: 240 total cores in a 2U footprint — the highest compute density available in this form factor.

🧠

64 DIMM Slots — Up to 16 TB

64 HPE DDR5 SmartMemory DIMM slots (16 per processor socket) support DDR5 at 4800 MT/s, with 256 GB DIMM modules enabling 16 TB maximum capacity — ideal for the largest in-memory database instances and SAP HANA scale-up deployments.

🖥️

GPU Acceleration

Up to 6 single-wide or 2 double-wide GPU accelerators supported in PCIe Gen5 slots. Compatible GPUs include NVIDIA H100 80GB PCIe and NVIDIA L40 48GB PCIe in slot 2 and slot 5, supporting up to 10.5-inch GPU lengths.

🔌

PCIe Gen5 + OCP 3.0

Up to 6 PCIe Gen5 slots via primary and secondary risers, plus 2 OCP 3.0 slots. Supports NIC cards from 1GbE to 200GbE and high-performance storage controllers for all-NVMe configurations.

Flexible Redundant Power

Four PSU bays support 800W, 1000W, 1600W, or 2200W Flex Slot power supplies in 1+1, 2+2, 3+1, or 4+0 redundancy configurations — eliminating power as a single point of failure for mission-critical environments.

🛡️

HPE iLO 6 & OneView

HPE iLO 6 provides embedded silicon root of trust security and remote management. HPE OneView adds comprehensive infrastructure management, monitoring, and reporting across server, storage, and networking from a single pane of glass.

About the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11

The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 occupies a unique position in the server market: a four-socket server in a 2U chassis that delivers the compute and memory capacity of a traditional 4U four-socket platform at half the rack height. With four 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors supporting up to 60 cores each, the DL560 Gen11 provides up to 240 total cores — enabling database consolidation ratios and virtualisation density that would otherwise require multiple 2-socket servers.

Memory capacity scales to 16 TB across 64 DDR5 DIMM slots (16 per processor socket). At 4800 MT/s per channel, this configuration delivers exceptional memory bandwidth for the most demanding in-memory workloads — including large SAP HANA scale-up instances, Oracle in-memory databases, and real-time analytics platforms that require multi-terabyte working sets.

GPU and accelerator support is a distinguishing feature: up to 6 single-wide or 2 double-wide GPUs can be installed in the DL560 Gen11's PCIe Gen5 slots, supporting NVIDIA H100 80GB PCIe and L40 48GB PCIe accelerators. This positions the DL560 Gen11 as a capable platform for AI training workloads that benefit from the large DDR5 memory complement alongside GPU compute.

Power resilience is exceptional: four PSU bays with 800W to 2200W options support up to 4+0 (quad-redundant) power configurations — ensuring that the loss of three power supplies simultaneously does not interrupt operation. This level of power redundancy is typically reserved for large 4U or 8U enterprise servers and makes the DL560 Gen11 particularly suitable for environments with stringent uptime requirements.

High-Density Virtualisation

With 240 cores and 16 TB DDR5, the DL560 Gen11 provides exceptional virtualisation density — hosting workloads that would otherwise span multiple 2-socket servers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the maximum memory capacity of the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11?

The DL560 Gen11 supports up to 16 TB of DDR5 SmartMemory across 64 DIMM slots (16 per processor socket), using 256 GB DDR5 modules at 4800 MT/s.

Q. Does the DL560 Gen11 support GPU accelerators?

Yes — up to 6 single-wide or 2 double-wide GPU accelerators in PCIe Gen5 slots. Supported cards include NVIDIA H100 80GB PCIe and NVIDIA L40 48GB PCIe in slot positions 2 and 5.

Q. Why is the DL560 Gen11 in a 2U chassis instead of 4U?

HPE designed the DL560 Gen11 specifically for data centres where rack space is at a premium. By fitting four processor sockets and up to 16 TB of memory into 2U, organisations can achieve the compute density of a 4U four-socket server at half the rack height.
