Features
double-wide GPU support.
Intuitive Cloud Operating Experience: Simple, Self-service, and
Automated
HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 servers are engineered for your hybrid world. The
HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers simplify the way you control your business’s
compute—from edge to cloud—with a cloud operating experience.

Transform business operations and pivot your team from reactive to proactive
with global visibility and insight through a self-service console.
Automate tasks for efficiency in deployment and instant scalability for seamless,
simplified support and lifecycle management, reducing tasks and shortening
maintenance windows.
These experiences are engineered and built into all HPE ProLiant Gen11
servers, whether purchased as physical servers or consumed as-a-service using
HPE GreenLake as your compute and storage demands grow.
Simplify and secure server management from edge to cloud with HPE
GreenLake for Compute Ops Management. HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops
Management is an as-a-service compute management experience that delivers
greater simplicity, agility, and speed across your entire compute landscape,
globally.

Trusted Security by Design: Uncompromising, Fundamental, and

Protected
The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server is tied into the silicon root of trust and
the AMD Secure Processor, a dedicated security processor embedded in the
AMD EPYC system on a chip (SoC), to manage secure boot, memory encryption,
and secure virtualization.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers use the silicon root of trust to anchor the firmware
of an HPE ASIC, creating an immutable fingerprint for the AMD Secure Processor
that must be matched exactly before the server will boot. This verifies that
malicious code is contained, and healthy servers are protected.
HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers continuously protect healthy servers at the edge
by providing rapid detection of security-compromised servers, even to the point
of not allowing them to boot if it identifies and contains malicious code, with
IDevID certificates installed by default.
HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers provide automated recovery from a security event,
including restoration of validated firmware, and facilitating recovery of the
operating system, application, data connections, and providing a fast path to
bring a server back online and into normal operations.
From silicon to software, from factory to cloud, and from generation to
generation, HPE ProLiant Gen11 is engineered with a fundamental security
approach to defend against increasingly complex threats through an
uncompromising commitment to constant security advancements that are built
into our DNA.

Customized Performance for your Workloads: Accelerated, Open,

and Efficient
Harness major computer performance. The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server
is powered by the 4th Generation AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors with
5nm technology that supports up to 128 cores, 400W, and 1152 MB of L3
cache.

Advanced data transfer rates and higher network speeds from the PCIe Gen5
serial expansion bus, with up to 8x16 PCIe Gen5 and two OCP slots, improve I/O
throughput and reduce latency.
Increased memory bandwidth and performance, and lower power requirements
with 12 DIMM channels per processor for up to 6 TB total DDR5 memory.
Provide real-time operational feedback on server performance plus
recommendations for fine-tuning BIOS settings to customize for changing
business needs.
