HP ProLiant G7 Server Platforms Launched

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.

“Customers in Asia Pacific want the best possible return on their server investments, allowing them to channel valuable resources towards innovation,” said Rajesh Dhar, Director, Industry Standard Servers, HP India. “The new HP ProLiant G7 boosts systems performance while utilising fewer servers than previously needed, allowing customers to reduce capital expenditures, energy costs and software licensing fees by 97 percent.”

Features of ProLiant G7 servers :

• HP ProLiant servers include HP Thermal Logic technologies to reduce power consumption by as much as 96 percent.
• In addition, energy-efficiency innovations in the HP ProLiant platforms, combined with the new AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors, deliver a 27 times performance-per-watt increase.
• HP Insight Control software – improves management productivity while reducing operational expenses up to $48,000 for every 100 users by allowing clients to control the management and monitoring of the server infrastructure onsite or remotely.
• HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) 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 percent with secure remote support for HP servers and storage, including monitoring for hardware failure to avoid problems before they occur.
