Server selection – tough decision. Each, who decided to buy a new one or this server, faces a number of dilemmas – what is the memory size, how about processing, what are the expansion possibilities … There are many questions, and at this stage it is not always possible to predict, what parameters should the server match. so, let's take a closer look at the hugely popular HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 model, which is ideal for both small businesses, and for modern data centers, regardless of dynamically changing computing power requirements.
HP sets the standard for future generations of dual-socket servers. The main message in the development of the ProLiant DL380p Gen8 was the greatest possible comfort of use.. Thus, the series has a simple maintenance system, flexible configuration, unrivaled performance and design, meeting customer needs.
ProLiant DL380p Gen8 – a good choice?
With HP OneView 1.10 no problems with infrastructure complexity, and Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v2 processors can increase performance up to 35%. Faster computations and processing more data are possible with GPU support in the primary and secondary stages.
Common Slot Power Supplies provide efficiency up to 96%. Higher memory efficiency (on 16,6%) provides HP SmartMemory , whereas in terms of load, the SmartCache solution, based on controller-based cache management, irreplaceable.
The ProLiant DL380p Gen8 is ideal for tough jobs, easy to handle. With an improved processor, the server has increased the capacity and efficiency of mass memory and compute operations. Improved error handling prevents downtime and data loss.
Intuitive and easy-to-use management system allows you to unleash the potential of the infrastructure and take full advantage of the available solutions. HP Smart Update с HP SUM, SPP guarantees fast implementation and hassle-free updates
Savings and optimization
HP was the first company in the industry, which used temperature sensors to control direct cooling fans and reduce energy losses, which led to savings.
Integrated Lifecycle Automation was created in response to user needs , which is a breakthrough in converged infrastructure management.
