Built around AMD's 2nd Generation EPYC 7002 series, the DL325 Gen10 Plus is HPE's answer to workloads that need dual-socket-class throughput without the licensing and power overhead of a second CPU. It's a common choice for virtualisation clusters, storage nodes and demanding single-threaded workloads that benefit from AMD's high core counts and PCIe Gen4 bandwidth.
At a glance
Typical deployments
Virtualisation hosts
With 16 DIMM slots and up to 2TB of DDR4, memory capacity is the limiting factor for VM density long before clock speed is. Configure for RAM headroom first.
Database servers
Because most database licensing is priced per core, fewer, higher-clocked cores usually beat maximum core count. Look at the lower-core, higher-frequency EPYC 7002 SKUs.
Software-defined storage
Up to 24 SFF or 12 LFF bays, with NVMe options and PCIe Gen4 bandwidth, suit Ceph, vSAN and similar scale-out storage nodes that need drive density and I/O headroom together.
General-purpose compute
Single-socket EPYC gives near dual-socket throughput without the second CPU, so it's a cost-effective pick for web tiers, CI runners and departmental application servers.

Frequently asked questions
What does "refurbished" mean for this server?
It means the unit has previously been deployed, then removed, tested and inspected before resale. Components are checked for correct operation rather than replaced wholesale, so exact cosmetic condition can vary slightly between units.
Is a used DL325 Gen10 Plus suitable for production?
Yes, this is a widely deployed enterprise platform and the second-hand market for it is mature. As with any server, we'd recommend matching the drive controller, memory configuration and firmware level to your intended workload before going live.
What's included with the server?
Included items depend on the specific listing, so check the individual product page for drive carriers, rail kits, power supplies and network adapters included with that unit.
Can I upgrade memory or storage after purchase?
The DL325 Gen10 Plus has 16 DIMM slots and supports SFF, LFF or NVMe drive backplanes, so there's room to add memory or drives later provided you stay within the platform's documented limits.
Can you help me choose the right configuration?
Yes, our team can advise on processor, memory and drive controller choices for your workload, whether that's a virtualisation host, database node or general-purpose server.
