Frequently Asked Questions

How does the NVIDIA A16 compare to NVIDIA A40 for virtual workstation use?

The NVIDIA A16 provides 4x16GB GDDR6 (64GB total) optimized for multi-user vGPU density, while the A40 provides 48GB GDDR6 in a single GPU optimized for high-performance per-user workloads. The A16 supports more concurrent virtual desktop users at moderate per-user GPU memory; the A40 is preferred for demanding single-user professional visualization workloads requiring maximum per-GPU memory and compute.

What is the maximum number of HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus GPU slots for A16?

The HPE DL380 Gen10 Plus supports up to 3 double-wide GPU accelerators or up to 8 single-wide GPUs depending on configuration. With NVIDIA A16 cards (which are typically full-height full-length), the specific slot count depends on the DL380 Gen10 Plus GPU riser configuration — consult HPE”s DL380 Gen10 Plus QuickSpecs for the exact GPU slot count and power envelope for your configuration.

Is the P48409-001 the same hardware as P47877-001 and R8T26C?

Yes — P48409-001, P47877-001, and R8T26C are all HPE variants of the identical NVIDIA A16 64GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 x8 hardware. The different part numbers reflect HPE”s procurement channel distinctions (-001 OEM, Smart Buy, standard option kit) but all refer to the same physical GPU card with identical specifications and interchangeability.

The HPE P48409-001 NVIDIA A16 delivers 64GB of GDDR6 across four Ampere GPU dies with PCIe 4.0 x8 connectivity — providing the standard HPE-part-number option for high-density NVIDIA vGPU virtual workstation and VDI deployments in HPE ProLiant servers with up to 16 virtual GPU instances per card for multi-user cloud workstation environments.
