The next-generation of HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem server lineups feature models powered by Intel’s latest dual-core technologies — the Intel Xeon 5100 and 5000 processor series.
The new x86 processor-based HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers address Middle East customers’ demands for power, cooling and virtualization through a balanced architecture design, simplified platform transitions and improved IT efficiency.
Additionally, HP advancements in key subsystems centered around management, networking, storage and power efficiency, as well as the control afforded by new HP ProLiant Essentials software, help reduce the cost of ownership and improve system performance for customers in the region.
For certain enterprise applications, the HP ProLiant servers can improve power-to-performance ratios and increase overall system performance by as much as 48 percent and improve certain enterprise application performance by nearly 101 percent.
The new servers available with Intel Xeon 5100 and 5000 processors include the HP ProLiant DL140, DL360 and DL380 rack-optimized servers, the HP ProLiant ML150, ML350 and ML370 tower servers and the HP ProLiant BL20p server blade. These servers have been qualified against and will support all industry-standard major operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Linux and VMware.
In addition, HP recently introduced four Intel-based workstations that enhance the performance and extend the boundaries of workstation computing beyond the office. The desk-side HP xw6400 and xw8400 Workstations feature dual-core Intel Xeon processors along with easy expandability, while the HP Compaq nw8440 and nw9440 mobile workstations offer the power of a workstation with the convenience of a notebook to video editors, engineers, designers and animators.
To assist customers in maximizing the potential of the HP servers, HP Services provides a wide range of cost-effective data center services for continuous care and support for the servers’ entire lifecycle. Drawing on research from HP Labs, the data center power and cooling services have delivered as much as 20 percent savings in cooling power consumption.
