Hpe

HPE ProLiant servers, such as the DL380 Gen11, are rack-mount data center servers built on 4th and 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, supporting up to 64 cores per processor and up to 8 TB of memory. Thinvent does not build rack servers. Its closest alternatives are compact Thinvent mini PCs and industrial PCs that use Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors for lighter business and edge computing workloads.

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 vs Thinvent Industrial and Mini PCs

Key differences

• The HPE DL380 Gen11 supports up to 64 cores per processor and up to 8 TB of memory, far beyond the Thinvent range, which supports up to 64 GB of RAM.

• Thinvent mini PCs and industrial PCs are compact desktop or edge units, while the HPE DL380 is a rack server designed for data center deployment.

• Thinvent offers multiple Intel Core and AMD Ryzen configurations with up to 2 TB SSD storage and Wi-Fi 5 options on selected models.

• The Thinvent IPC5 and Treo lines suit single-site office, kiosk, machine-control and light edge tasks where a full server is not required.

Which one should you choose?

Choose the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 for data center workloads such as virtualization, large databases and high-density compute that need server-class processors and memory. Choose a Thinvent industrial or mini PC for compact, lower-power business computing, point-of-use applications and factory-floor or office deployments.
