HP introduced three HP Proliant G7 server platforms that offer a significant performance boost and enhanced power savings over previous generations.
Delivering a 23:1 consolidation ratio, HP Proliant G7 servers with AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors increase operational efficiencies, paying for themselves in as little as two months. The line includes the HP Proliant DL165 G7 and HP Proliant DL385 G7 rack-optimised servers, as well as the HP Proliant SL165z G7 scale-out 'skinless' server.
HP Proliant servers are part of the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio, which integrates servers, storage, network devices and facility resources into a common environment, allowing IT to rapidly respond to business demands. HP Proliant servers provide modular, standards-based building blocks that advance clients toward a converged infrastructure.
HP Proliant servers include HP Thermal Logic technologies to reduce power consumption by as much as 96 per cent. Power savings are achieved through a combination of energy-saving features.
The HP Sea of Sensors optimises system cooling and increases efficiency by automatically tracking thermal activity through a collection of up to 32 smart sensors placed strategically throughout the server. The sensors automatically adjust system components such as fans, memory and input/output processing to reduce energy usage.
HP Power Advisor enables clients to improve energy efficiency by more accurately configuring systems based on real-time power guidance for their specific workloads.
The HP Proliant platform offers a comprehensive set of embedded technologies and flexible tools to maximise the productivity of an IT infrastructure.
HP Insight Control software improves management productivity while reducing operational expenses by allowing clients to control the management and monitoring of the server infrastructure onsite or remotely.
HP Integrated Lights-Out Advanced enables clients to simplify server management and troubleshoot problems from any location, regardless of the server's operating state.
HP Insight Remote Support software reduces issue resolution time by 20 per cent with secure remote support for HP servers and storage, including monitoring for hardware failure to avoid problems before they occur.
