HP has announced its self-sufficient line of servers – the HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8).
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers are the result of a $300 million, two-year program called Project Voyager, the company’s initiative to redefine datacentre economics by automating every aspect of the server life cycle. To date, Project Voyager has resulted in more than 900 patents filed and a new systems architecture called HP ProActive Insight architecture, which will span the entire HP Converged Infrastructure.
With intelligent technologies that automate tasks and significantly improve uptime, HP ProLiant Gen 8 with HP ProActive Insight architecture addresses the top concerns of enterprises.
HP ProLiant Gen8 triples administrator productivity by eliminating most manual operations such as server updates, which typically take five hours of administrator time per rack of servers. HP ProLiant Gen8 features HP 3-D Sea of Sensors, an industry-first technology that identifies over-utilised servers based on real-time location, power, workload and temperature data. HP 3-D Sea of Sensors also automates energy efficiency while eliminating 100 percent of manual configuration and inventory process errors.
With industry-first HP Active Health and HP Insight Online technologies, HP ProLiant Gen8 is the only server that automatically analyses its own health across 1,600 data points. Through self monitoring, self diagnosing and proactive support, clients can resolve unplanned downtime issues faster.
“The skyrocketing cost of operations in the datacentre is unsustainable, and enterprises are looking to HP to help solve this problem,” said Vikram K, Director, Industry Standard Servers, HP India. “We are delivering innovative intelligence technologies that enable servers to virtually take care of themselves, allowing datacentre staff to devote more time to business innovation,” he added.
