HPE DL380 Gen10 Plus Server vs. DL380 Gen10 Server
Comparison between HPE DL380 Gen10 Plus Server vs. DL380 Gen10 Server:
HPE recently released a new series of ProLiant rack servers, including the DL380 Gen10 plus, DL385 Gen10 plus, and DL360 Gen10 plus. However, what is the distinction between old and plus series?
Let’s compare the HPE DL380 Gen10 Plus and DL380 Gen10 in this post.
The main difference between the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus server and the DL380 Gen10 server is that the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus server is built on 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus server, which has PCIe Gen4 capabilities, provides faster data transfer rates and networking speeds.
In fact, the appearances of these two series are nearly identical:
