Comparison between HPE DL 380 Gen10 Plus Server vs. DL 380 Gen10 Server:
HPE dl 380 recently released a new series of ProLiant rack servers, including the DL380 Gen10 Plus, DL385 Gen10 Plus, and DL360 Gen10 Plus. So, what distinguishes these new models from the previous series?
Let’s compare the HPE DL380 Gen10 Plus and DL380 Gen10. The main difference lies in the processors: the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus server uses 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. Additionally, the DL380 Gen10 Plus features PCIe Gen4 capabilities, which offer faster data transfer rates and improved networking speeds.
The appearances of these two series are nearly identical:
