HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 Server (P17079-B21)

Equipment Overview

The HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 (P17079-B21) is a single-socket, rack-optimized server designed for entry-level enterprise workloads, including small-scale virtualization, remote office/branch office (ROBO) deployments, and dedicated application hosting. Equipped with an Intel Xeon E-2224 processor and 16 GB of memory, the system provides a balanced foundation for compute and memory-intensive tasks. The server supports two LFF (large form factor) drive bays without pre-installed storage, allowing flexible configuration based on capacity or performance requirements. With integrated HPE Smart Array S100i controller and standard iLO management (without dedicated port), it delivers essential remote administration capabilities for IT environments.

Main Parameters

• Form Factor: 1U rack-mountable, single-platform server
• Processor: Intel Xeon E-2224, 4 cores, 3.4 GHz base frequency, up to 4.6 GHz max turbo frequency
• Memory: 16 GB installed (configuration supports optimal memory/storage balance)
• Storage Controller: HPE Smart Array S100i; no hard drives included (2 LFF bays available)
• Networking: 2x 1GbE Ethernet ports
• Cooling & Power: 3 non-hot-plug fans, 290W power supply
• Management: HPE iLO standard (no dedicated management port)

Key Advantages

The DL20 Gen10 is selected for enterprise deployments requiring reliable single-socket performance with minimal footprint. Its 4-core Xeon E-2224 with turbo boost up to 4.6 GHz ensures responsive handling of transactional and light database workloads. The combination of 16 GB memory and S100i controller supports straightforward deployment of up to two LFF drives, enabling cost-efficient capacity scaling. Standard iLO management simplifies routine server administration without additional hardware investment.

Compatibility & Integration

This server is compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10 ecosystem components, including supported memory modules, drive caddies, and networking options. It integrates with industry-standard operating systems such as Windows Server, Linux distributions, and VMware vSphere. The 2x 1GbE ports provide basic network connectivity, while iLO standard (no port) requires shared or dedicated network access via system management software for out-of-band operations.
