HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 Configuration & Quote

Where HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 fits

The DL380a Gen12 is a 4U accelerator-focused Intel Xeon 6 platform. HPE documents configurations supporting up to ten double-width GPUs; the supported combination, power and cooling requirements must be confirmed for each build.

For inference, provide the model, precision, context length, expected concurrent sessions and response-time target. For fine-tuning, add the method, dataset size and completion window. These inputs matter more than a generic request for an AI server.

Installation and workload checks

Check rack depth and load, power feeds, cooling capacity, network bandwidth and software compatibility before ordering. A GPU-heavy system can require site preparation beyond the space occupied by the chassis.

Configured to your project. Model names describe platforms. Processors, memory, drives, GPUs, software and support are included only when listed in your agreed quotation. Confirm India availability and lead time when requesting a proposal.

What to specify in your quote

HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 configuration checklist
Decision	Information to provide
Workload	Applications, current utilisation, peak demand, availability target and expected growth.
Compute and memory	Processor requirements, memory working set, expansion plan and software licensing constraints.
Storage and network	Usable capacity, latency needs, resilience, backup destination and required network connections.
AI acceleration	Model and framework, precision, GPU memory needs, concurrency and validated accelerator options.
Delivery and support	Quantity, delivery location, site readiness, support term and installation responsibilities.

Build a proposal that can be compared fairly

Ask Invitty for a bill of materials separating hardware, software licences, support and implementation. Include required mounting accessories, management entitlements and power components. When comparing offers, check identical part numbers and support terms; a lower total can reflect missing components rather than a better price.

For a replacement, record the migration window, backup status and rollback requirements before choosing hardware. For a new AI application, agree a representative workload test with a measurable acceptance target. A component specification alone does not establish application performance.

HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12: buying questions

Will ten GPUs be included in a DL380a Gen12 quote?

Only when the quote explicitly includes ten compatible GPUs and the required supporting components. The platform maximum is not the default delivered configuration or a performance guarantee.

What is the price of HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 in India?

Pricing depends on the configured hardware, software, support term and deployment scope. Send your workload, quantity, delivery city and target date for an itemised INR quotation with taxes and exclusions stated.

Can I request an AI configuration for HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12?

Yes. Share your AI application, model requirements and expected usage. Any GPU, software stack and supporting components must be validated against current HPE compatibility documentation before a build is confirmed.

What should I check before accepting the server?

Match delivered components to the agreed bill of materials, verify support registration and firmware, restrict management access, and run the agreed application and recovery checks. Acceptance criteria should be documented before installation.
