Overview

Azure Local node. The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is the dual-socket 2U workhorse of the ProLiant line, and a safe default for a general-purpose Azure Local cluster. In its hybrid configuration a small SSD cache tier fronts a larger HDD capacity tier — good economics for mixed workloads that do not all need flash.

Where it fits

Most first Azure Local clusters land here: a few dozen VMs, file services, line-of-business apps and their databases, with room to add nodes later. When a specific workload outgrows hybrid storage, add an all-flash DL380 Gen11 node and move it across. Madatech sizes the cluster, sources it through our HPE channel, and runs the build.
