Unfortunately, Gen9 did not appear, and the new Gen10 is … just read about it and you’ll see 🙂 HP Microserver Gen8 is the last HP microserver, which: But then you shouldn’t be surprised that the processor alone is 1.5 times more expensive than the Microserver :-). You can install, for example, Intel® Xeon® E3-1270 3.4/4.1 GHz with 4/8 architecture. I understand that HP Microserver Gen8 is not a magic pill as well, but you can install 16 GB of memory and, for example, a 2.3/3.5 GHz Intel® Xeon® E3-1220l processor with 2/4 architecture and ultra-low energy consumption (about 17-20 W). You couldn’t install something more powerful than a 1.5 GHz AMD Turion (™) II processor with 2/2 architecture and 8 GB of RAM to it.

N40L didn’t have enough hardware resources. I wanted to run both DNS and WEB at least on Windows Server 2008R2 and ideally on Windows Server 2012 R2.
