HP Unveils First ProLiant MicroServer For SMEs

HP has introduced its first HP ProLiant MicroServer designed to enable small companies to confidently grow their businesses while taking advantage of the reliability, performance and security of a server.

The HP ProLiant MicroServer delivers affordability, energy and space-saving features. Designed for companies with less than ten employees, the HP ProLiant MicroServer enables them to share and secure critical business information. Ideal when needing to stay connected – whether in the office or on the road, the server simplifies how users access data differently than on desktop or notebook PCs.
The HP ProLiant MicroServer’s compact, quiet and sleek design is about half the size and 50 percent quieter than most entry-level servers.

“Small businesses have traditionally relied on interconnected PCs to share files and resources, which may not help them keep pace in today’s competitive environment,” said Rajesh Dhar, Director, Industry Standard Servers, HP Enterprise Business, HP India. “Leveraging over 20 years in server leadership and innovation, HP is introducing a no-compromise, compact server designed to fit into office environments with a versatile appearance and quiet operations.

The HP ProLiant MicroServer increases control over who has access to sensitive company information by centralising data on a server-based network. Key benefits include:

• Faster access to shared files, applications and increased system performance with expandable, pluggable drives, flexible backup options, the latest processors and chipsets.
• Enhanced security and control over access to confidential business information.
• Lower costs through improved sharing of equipment, including fax machines, printers and applications.
• Reduced power usage with a more efficient power supply that is up to 150 watts lower than other entry-level servers.
• Accommodates business growth with a modular 10-inch design that allows it to be positioned on the floor or desk.
• The server features glowing HP logo status indicators, perforated vent patterns and a locking door to secure removable hard drives.
