Hail low-end HP DL380 Gen9 server!

As Hewlett-Packard tries to embrace the entire server market, it is imperative to present low-end devices. Speaking of which, we would like to bring your attention to the lowest server of the DL380 Gen9 series–the HP ProLiant 752687-B21. This base server is simply a 2U rack unit. It is energized by the Xeon E5-2620 processor and only 16GB of memory (standard). But do not think it is inferior, because HP left room for bettering it!
