Follow UsNEW DELHI: HP has launched its lineup of servers based on Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 7300 series to improve performance and cut costs.
The rack-based HP ProLiant DL580 G5 server and BL680c G5, HP’s first four-processor quad-core server blade, offers increased performance with double the number of processor cores. In addition, the DL580 G5 has double the memory capacity of its predecessor.
These energy-efficient servers are designed for customers running data-intensive business applications such as databases, business intelligence, enterprise resource planning and large mail and messaging platforms in virtualized environments, HP said in a statement.
“Using Intel Xeon 7300 series quad-core processors, HP ProLiant servers are delivering unprecedented performance and energy efficiency,” said Tom Kilroy, vice president and general manager, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation.
“The new four socket, quad-core Xeon processor systems will provide 16 cores that enable HP to provide customers with superior levels of scalability, virtualization performance and improve their ability to run mission-critical applications.”
The HP ProLiant DL580 G5 is a 4P-based server ideal for virtualization and mission-critical data center deployments. The processor performance and large memory capacity of the DL580 G5 can help improve staff productivity through fewer, yet more powerful, servers to manage with better performing applications.
The HP ProLiant BL680c G5 has a large memory capacity for data-intensive applications. It is part of the HP BladeSystem portfolio, which was specifically designed for virtualization, energy-efficiency and ease of deployment and management.
HP also announced a joint commitment with Microsoft to define a data warehouse reference platform with the upcoming Microsoft SQL Server 2008 based on the ProLiant DL580 G5 with HP StorageWorks 50 Modular Smart Arrays.
The platform is designed to help businesses mitigate risk and deploy their SQL Server 2008 data warehousing solutions with confidence and predictable results.
