Who installs HPE ProLiant servers honestly in Abu Dhabi?
Emirtech Technology is an ICT contractor (ADMCC-approved for security systems only) founded in 2018 and operating from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi. We install and configure HPE ProLiant servers across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain for SMB, mid-market, line-of-business and edge workloads. Our scope covers HPE ProLiant DL-series rack (DL360 Gen11 1U and DL380 Gen11 2U on Intel Xeon Scalable, plus DL385 Gen11 on AMD EPYC), HPE ProLiant ML-series tower (ML30, ML110 and ML350 for branch and quiet-room deployments), HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 for SMB file/print and entry virtualization, HPE Apollo chassis for HPC and AI density, and HPE Synergy composable frames. We rack and cable to your structured cabling, set up HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 6) with dedicated management VLAN, apply Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) firmware baselines, configure Smart Array / MR Gen11 controllers, prepare boot drives for VMware ESXi, Windows Server 2022, Hyper-V or Linux, and hand over remote-management credentials and asset records. Where required, we integrate the hardware with HPE OneView for lifecycle management and onboard fleets to HPE InfoSight predictive analytics. We are transparent about our scope: Emirtech is not an HPE Platinum, Gold, Silver or Authorised Distributor partner, and we do not present ourselves as an HPE-accredited reseller. ProLiant hardware, HPE Care Pack warranty entitlements and HPE-branded licences are procured through authorised HPE distributors in the UAE, while Emirtech delivers the on-site rack-and-stack, iLO/OneView configuration and OS-ready handover. Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.

Example Builds
Typical DL380 Gen11 configuration tiers we spec and install
Every DL380 Gen11 we quote is sized to the workload rather than sold off a single fixed spec sheet — the examples below show the range we can configure for Abu Dhabi and Al Ain projects, on both Intel Xeon Scalable and AMD EPYC (DL385 Gen11) platforms. Exact CPU, memory, drive and controller selection depends on your site survey; these are illustrative starting points, not a fixed price list.
Virtualization Host (SFF, NVMe Boot)
2× Intel Xeon Gold 6448Y (32 cores/64 threads each) or an equivalent AMD EPYC pairing, 512GB DDR5 RDIMM, 8× SFF SAS/SATA bays, HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe boot-optimized storage, MR408i-o Gen11 RAID controller with Smart Storage Battery, dual 10/25GbE uplinks and (1+1) 1000W Titanium PSUs. Sized for VMware vSphere or Hyper-V clusters where memory density and boot-drive isolation matter more than raw bay count.
Bulk Storage / File Server (LFF)
2× Intel Xeon Silver 4510 (12 cores/24 threads each) or an AMD EPYC equivalent, 256GB DDR5 RDIMM, 12× LFF SAS/SATA bays populated with a mix of high-capacity SAS/SATA HDDs and SATA read-intensive SSDs, MR416i-p RAID controller with Smart Storage Battery. Built for capacity-first roles — file shares, backup targets and archive tiers — where usable terabytes matter more than core count.
Balanced High-Core Workload (SFF)
2× Intel Xeon Gold 5416S (16 cores/32 threads each) or an AMD EPYC equivalent, 512GB DDR5 RDIMM, 8× SFF SAS/SATA bays, MR408i-o Gen11 controller, plus optional 10GbE SFP+ NICs and 32Gb Fibre Channel HBAs for SAN-attached deployments. A middle-ground spec for ERP, ticketing and line-of-business platforms that need headroom without HPC-class density.
All three profiles are specified with dual (1+1) hot-plug Flex Slot power supplies and HPE Smart Storage Battery-backed caching — we validate the exact PSU wattage, drive mix and NIC selection against your actual power, storage-growth and network-uplink requirements during the site survey rather than assuming a fixed build.

Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not
Emirtech is upfront about where our HPE ProLiant scope starts and stops. We install, configure and document the hardware; we do not pretend to be an HPE-accredited reseller, distributor or 24/7 support operator.

- We do not deliver: 24/7 HPE-branded support contracts, HPE Pointnext professional services, Care Pack warranty fulfilment, or hardware break-fix outside the arrangements agreed in the written quotation.
- We are not: an HPE Platinum, Gold, Silver, Authorised Distributor or Major Account Partner — ProLiant hardware and HPE Care Pack entitlements are procured via authorised HPE distributors in the UAE.
- We are not affiliated with: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), HPE Middle East, authorised HPE distributors in UAE, Dell PowerEdge, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS, Fujitsu PRIMERGY or Supermicro.
- Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and we also deploy ProLiant servers in Dubai only for IT AMC and time attendance; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
- We do not hold SIRA (Dubai), ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification.
If HPE Pointnext, brand-direct Care Pack escalation or distributor-channel procurement is mandatory for your project, we will say so during the survey and decline politely rather than misrepresent our credentials.
Common questions
FAQs
Is Emirtech an HPE authorised or Platinum partner?
No. Emirtech is not an HPE Platinum, Gold, Silver or Authorised Distributor partner. We install and configure ProLiant servers in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain; HPE-branded hardware, Care Pack warranties and licences are procured via authorised HPE distributors in the UAE.
Which HPE ProLiant models do you install?
DL360 Gen11 and DL380 Gen11 (Intel Xeon Scalable), DL385 Gen11 (AMD EPYC), ML30, ML110 and ML350 towers, MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 for SMB, plus Apollo HPC chassis and HPE Synergy modular frames where the design calls for it.
What CPU, memory and storage can a DL380 Gen11 be configured with?
Typical builds range from a virtualization host (2x Intel Xeon Gold 6448Y, up to 512GB DDR5 RDIMM, 8x SFF bays with NVMe boot storage) to a bulk-storage/file server (2x Intel Xeon Silver 4510, 256GB DDR5, 12x LFF bays) to a balanced high-core build (2x Intel Xeon Gold 5416S, 512GB DDR5, 8x SFF bays with optional 10GbE or 32Gb Fibre Channel HBAs). Every DL380 Gen11 configuration is also available on AMD EPYC as a DL385 Gen11 — exact CPU, memory and drive mix is confirmed during the site survey.
Do you configure iLO 6, OneView and InfoSight?
Yes. We commission HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 on a dedicated management VLAN, replace default certificates, integrate with AD/LDAP where required, onboard servers into HPE OneView, and enrol fleets into InfoSight predictive analytics when the customer holds the licence.
Do you cover Dubai or only Abu Dhabi?
Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas. We also deploy ProLiant servers in Dubai only for IT AMC and time attendance, and we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
Can you handle HPE Care Pack registration and warranty?
We assist with on-site registration paperwork and serial-number capture, but Care Pack entitlements, warranty extensions and HPE Pointnext support contracts are fulfilled directly by HPE and its authorised UAE distributors — not by Emirtech.
