Built around dual-socket 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, the DL365 Gen10 Plus squeezes serious core density and I/O bandwidth into a single rack unit. It's aimed at workloads that need a lot of memory and PCIe throughput without the footprint of a 2U chassis — VDI, virtualisation and hybrid cloud environments being the obvious candidates.
At a glance
Typical deployments
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
VDI is what this chassis was designed around. Prioritise DIMM count and total memory over raw clock speed — with 32 slots and support for up to 8TB, you can comfortably size for hundreds of concurrent sessions before storage or network becomes the bottleneck.
Virtualisation and hybrid cloud hosts
For general-purpose ESXi or Hyper-V hosts, memory capacity matters more than per-core frequency. A 128-core, high-memory build lets you pack more VMs per rack unit, which is exactly where this platform earns its keep.
Database servers
If licensing is billed per core, fewer, faster cores usually beat a high core count. Look at the lower-core, higher-clock EPYC options within this range rather than defaulting to the maximum 64-core part.
Dense compute and I/O-heavy workloads
With PCIe Gen4 lanes and Tri-Mode storage controllers spanning NVMe, SAS and SATA in the same chassis, this server suits workloads that move a lot of data quickly — think analytics nodes or storage-adjacent compute tiers.
Why buy from CompuWyze
- Every unit is tested and configured before it's listed, not just powered on and shipped
- We can build to a specific core count, memory total and drive mix rather than selling fixed bundles only
- Enterprise refurbished stock at a fraction of new-unit pricing, sourced from decommissioned datacentre estates
- iLO management and BIOS access verified as part of our checks, so it's ready for remote administration on arrival
- Technical staff on hand to advise on the right processor and memory combination for your workload
- 3-year warranty available on eligible units
Frequently asked questions
What does "refurbished" mean for a DL365 Gen10 Plus?
It means the server has previously been in service, typically in a datacentre, and has since been tested, cleaned and had any failed or worn components replaced before resale. It isn't new stock, but it's checked to confirm it functions correctly.
Is this hardware suitable for production use?
Yes — these are enterprise-grade servers designed for continuous datacentre operation, and the same build quality applies whether the unit is new or refurbished. Many customers run refurbished DL365 units as primary infrastructure rather than as test or backup systems.
What's included with the server?
Configuration varies by listing, so check the specific product page for the exact processors, memory, drives, rail kit and power supply combination included with that unit.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
The DL365 Gen10 Plus has 32 DIMM slots and up to 10 SFF drive bays depending on configuration, so there's typically headroom to add memory or drives as your requirements grow, provided you stay within HPE's supported combinations.
Which processor and memory configuration should I choose?
It depends on the workload: VDI and virtualisation generally benefit from higher core counts and maximised memory, while database or per-core-licensed applications often do better with fewer, faster cores. Get in touch and we can help match a build to your workload.
