Overview

Azure Local node. The HPE ProLiant DL560 packs up to four Intel Xeon Scalable processors and a large memory capacity into a 2U chassis. For Azure Local it is the density option — when you would rather run a small number of large nodes than a large number of small ones.

Where it fits

Consolidation projects with high VM counts, and large in-memory workloads that need a lot of RAM on a single host. Fewer, bigger nodes can simplify a rack and reduce per-node software costs, at the cost of a larger failure domain — a trade Madatech will walk through with you before sizing. We source the nodes through our HPE channel and run the build.
