HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11
The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 is a dense 1U single-socket rack server engineered for software-defined storage, virtualization, and I/O-intensive workloads where software licensing is billed per socket. Powered by a single AMD EPYC 9004 or 9005 series processor with up to 128 cores, 12 DDR5 memory channels, and PCIe 5.0 connectivity, it delivers performance that traditionally required dual-socket servers, offering significant savings on power consumption and per-socket software licensing costs.

Buying a used DL325 Gen11: what to check
Confirm processor wattage and ensure the fan kit includes high-performance fans if configured with high-TDP EPYC processors. Remember that AMD EPYC CPUs initialized in this platform are fused with HPE PSB (Platform Secure Boot) and cannot be transferred to non-HPE servers. Check for the presence of the OCP 3.0 network card.
FAQ
Why choose a single-socket DL325 Gen11 over a dual-socket server?
A single AMD EPYC 9004 CPU can provide up to 128 cores, matching dual 64-core systems while halving per-socket hypervisor (e.g., VMware vSphere or Microsoft Windows Server) licensing costs.
How many DIMM slots are in the DL325 Gen11?
12 DDR5 DIMM slots, providing one slot per memory channel on the AMD EPYC processor.
Does the DL325 Gen11 support NVMe U.3 drives?
Yes, with the appropriate Tri-Mode backplane and controller or direct PCIe cabling, it supports up to 10 SFF U.3 NVMe drives.
