HP & AMD raise the performance bar with fastest 2 socket database engine and largest virtual machine result on blades in history.
The server industry leader for the past 61 quarters(1), HP has launched five new industry-standard servers in its ProLiant x86 lineup: the HP ProLiant BL465c G7, HP ProLiant BL685c G7, HP ProLiant DL385 G7, HP ProLiant DL585 G7 and HP ProLiant DL165 G7.
HP ProLiant G7 servers now feature the NEW AMD Opteron™ 6200 series processors, the world's FIRST 16-core x86 processor with up 33% more cores and up to 35% greater performance. These new solutions from HP & AMD offer scalability, efficiency and performance unmatched in previous generations. More performance, efficiency and scalability for today’s demanding data center environments.
This line-up of HP ProLiant G7 servers, now with the AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processor, deliver data centers a major performance boost, the lowest cost per virtual machine and fastest ROI. It’s the ideal platform for demanding environments like Virtualization, High Performance Computing and Database applications. Maximize your virtualization investment, with 33% more cores and greater memory density, without expanding your data center or increasing your power footprint. Now you can reduce inefficiency and cut costs across your infrastructure with solutions that are ready to deploy and instantly scalable.
Where these new platforms excel:
- Up to a 40 percent improvement in throughput over the previous generations of HP ProLiant servers based on AMD Opteron processors.(2)
- Approximately 15% increase in performance and 21% more Virtual Machines than Intel Xeon 5600(3)
- Reduce number of physical 2 processor servers “23:1”(4)
- ROI on 4 processor servers in as little as “30” days(5)
- Reduce data center footprint and energy consumption
The new HP ProLiant G7 servers also include HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 3), a server management tool enabling remote monitoring for reduced maintenance costs. Additionally, the new servers offer HP Virtual Connect, enabling clients to easily connect servers and virtual machines to any network, reducing IT sprawl up to 95 percent(6).
Companies are continually searching for ways to increase performance and data center efficiencies and reduce sprawl while delivering lower cost solutions to the business. HP ProLiant G7 servers are changing the data center landscape by delivering new levels of efficiency, performance and scalability.
