HPE P89243-005 — ProLiant Compute DL380 Gen12 with Intel Xeon 6505P 12-Core 2.2GHz, 64GB DDR5, 2× 480GB SSD
What it is
P89243-005 is an HPE ProLiant Compute DL380 Gen12 2U rack server designed for enterprise virtualization, databases, hybrid cloud, infrastructure services, and general-purpose compute.
It comes with 1 × Intel Xeon 6505P 12-core 2.2GHz processor, 64GB DDR5-6400 memory, an 8SFF chassis, HPE MR408i-o storage controller, 2 × 480GB SATA SSDs, 4 × 1GbE networking, and dual 800W Platinum hot-plug power supplies.
Why buyers pick P89243-005 (plain English)
12-core 2.2GHz Xeon processor: The included Intel Xeon 6505P runs at 2.2GHz with 12 physical cores, making it a solid fit for general enterprise applications, virtualization, infrastructure workloads, and databases.
64GB DDR5-6400 included: Ships with 2 × 32GB HPE DDR5 SmartMemory modules, giving you a practical starting configuration with room to expand.
2 × 480GB SSDs included: The server arrives with two enterprise 480GB SATA Read Intensive SSDs, so it already has usable local storage.
More expansion than a 1U server: The 2U DL380 Gen12 chassis offers substantially more PCIe and storage expansion than the DL360, making it better suited to configurations that may grow over time.
Hardware RAID included: The HPE MR408i-o controller provides hardware RAID capability with 4GB cache.
Redundant power: Dual 800W Platinum hot-plug PSUs give the system production-grade power redundancy.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)
Perfect for:
- Virtualization hosts
- Database servers
- Application servers
- Hybrid cloud infrastructure
- General enterprise compute
- Workloads that need more PCIe expansion
- Customers upgrading older DL380 systems
Choose something else if:
- You want a more compact 1U server → choose a DL360 Gen12
- You need more CPU cores → choose a higher-core Xeon 6 configuration
- You need more than 8 front drive bays → choose a higher-capacity DL380 chassis configuration
- You need faster networking out of the box → add a 10/25/100GbE adapter
- You need heavier virtualization density → increase processor core count and memory
TL;DR
P89243-005 is a 2U HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 server with a 12-core Intel Xeon 6505P running at 2.2GHz, 64GB DDR5-6400, 2× 480GB SATA SSDs, MR408i-o RAID, 4× 1GbE, and dual 800W Platinum power supplies — a flexible enterprise platform for virtualization and general compute.
