FAQ

What are the differences between HPE Gen10 Plus and the previous Gen10 servers?

HPE Gen10 Plus is an enhanced iteration of the Gen10 platform - it supports newer third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, delivers improved power efficiency, and offers expanded memory and storage options. It's a strong choice for organizations that need more computing power while keeping the same rack form factor.

Which HPE Gen10 Plus rack server models are available?

The HPE Gen10 Plus family includes models such as the ProLiant DL360, DL380, and DL560. They differ in the number of processor sockets, maximum RAM capacity, and expansion options. The right model largely depends on your application requirements and how much you plan to scale your environment.

Are refurbished HPE Gen10 Plus servers a safe choice for a business?

Yes, provided you buy from a reputable supplier. Refurbished servers are typically inspected and tested before sale and can cost significantly less than new hardware. Before purchasing, make sure the seller clearly describes the condition of the equipment and provides transparent warranty terms.

What workloads are HPE Gen10 Plus rack servers suited for?

What warranty do I get when purchasing an HPE Gen10 Plus server?

This depends on whether you are buying new or refurbished hardware, and on the individual seller's offering. New HPE servers come with the manufacturer's standard warranty. For used equipment, the scope and duration of the commercial warranty should always be confirmed directly with the seller before finalizing the purchase.

Can HPE Gen10 Plus servers be upgraded after purchase?

Yes - the Gen10 Plus platform was designed with scalability in mind. Depending on the model, you can expand RAM, add drives (SAS, SATA, NVMe), network cards, or GPU accelerators. Maximum limits for each model can be found in the HPE QuickSpecs documentation.
