Key Features

Everything you need in one device

⚙️

Intel Xeon 6 — 4-Socket Platform

Supports 2 or 4 Intel Xeon 6 processors with 8 to 86 cores per socket and up to 336 MB L3 cache. Maximum configuration: 344 cores (4 × 86-core 6787P) for peak single-system compute throughput for analytics and data management workloads.

🧠

64 DIMM Slots — 16 TB at 6400 MT/s

64 HPE DDR5 Smart Memory slots (16 per processor) support DDR5 RDIMM up to 256 GB per DIMM. Memory speed reaches 6400 MT/s with Intel Xeon 6 processors — the highest DDR5 speed available on any HPE server platform at time of launch.

🔌

12 × x16 PCIe Gen5 Slots

Up to 12 × x16 PCIe Gen5 slots plus 2 OCP 3.0 slots provide the highest I/O density available in any HPE rack server — enabling dense GPU, HPC accelerator, and high-bandwidth storage configurations without external PCIe expansion chassis.

💾

Up to 32 SFF / 32 EDSFF Drives

Front drive cage supports up to 32 SFF NVMe or 32 EDSFF E3.S NVMe drives, plus an optional front-accessible boot device. All-NVMe configurations deliver maximum storage throughput for analytics and database workloads.

🛡️

FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Certified

The DL580 Gen12 is HPE's first industry-standard server to pursue FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification (as at January 2025). Combined with CNSA 2.0 quantum-resistant firmware signing, it meets the most stringent government and defence security requirements.

High-Capacity Redundant Power

Three PSU options — 1500W, 2400W, and 3200W — support 1+1, 2+2, or 3+1 redundancy. 3200W PSUs deliver sufficient power for fully loaded GPU and NVMe configurations in the 4U chassis without derating.

About the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen12

The HPE ProLiant Compute DL580 Gen12 represents the pinnacle of HPE's rack server portfolio — a 4U, four-socket platform engineered specifically for the workloads that demand the greatest possible compute, memory, and I/O capacity within a single system. Powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors with up to 86 cores per socket and 336 MB L3 cache, it offers up to 344 total cores for the most parallel data-intensive applications.

Memory capacity and speed reach levels unavailable on 2-socket platforms: 64 DIMM slots (16 per processor) across four Intel Xeon 6 sockets support DDR5 at 6400 MT/s, with a maximum of 16 TB total memory. For large-scale SAP HANA deployments, Oracle in-memory configurations, and real-time analytics on petabyte-scale datasets, this capacity enables single-system architectures that eliminate scale-out complexity and inter-node latency.

The I/O subsystem is equally impressive: 12 × x16 PCIe Gen5 slots plus 2 OCP 3.0 slots provide bandwidth for dense GPU, NVMe storage, and high-speed networking simultaneously. This makes the DL580 Gen12 one of the few standard rack servers capable of running multiple NVIDIA H100 or equivalent GPU accelerators alongside high-bandwidth all-NVMe storage without requiring specialised GPU enclosures.

Security certification is a defining feature of the DL580 Gen12: it is the first HPE industry-standard server to pursue FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification — a requirement for many government, defence, and financial services deployments. HPE iLO 7's Security Enclave provides hardware-based tamper-resistant key storage, and CNSA 2.0 quantum-resistant firmware signing ensures the platform remains compliant as post-quantum cryptography standards mature.
