HP ProLiant Servers: redefining server economics

In today’s Data centres, server consolidation and cost reduction are the top-of-mind concerns. With tough economic conditions and rising IT operations costs, the status quo won’t do. If you’re in a Data Centre environment, you need to work aggressively to stop server and storage sprawl, reduce energy expenditures, and make better use of your valuable floor space – while responding faster to changing business requirements.

HP Converged Infrastructure solutions and services will help you meet these goals. They break down technology silos to bring all IT resources together into virtualised pools of assets that can be shared by many applications and managed as a service. This architecture goes beyond the current virtualisation of servers, storage systems, and network connections. It brings together management tools, policies, and processes so resources can be managed in a holistic and integrated manner. It also brings together power and cooling practices so systems and facilities work synergistically to extend the life of your Data Centre.

The HP ProLiant server portfolio offers key building blocks for your Converged Infrastructure. It doubles the performance of previous server generations and adds a wide range of innovative features that help you gain more value out of every IT dollar. HP ProLiant Servers deliver major advances in energy efficiency, virtualisation, and management. We combine these innovations with comprehensive financing programs and service offerings to redefine server economics. HP ProLiant Servers enable consolidation ratios of up to 20:1. This level of consolidation makes it possible for your organisation to reduce power and cooling expenses by 97 percent, reduce software licenses by 95 percent, and reduce the number of physical servers to manage by 95 percent. With gains like these, your investment in ProLiant technology can pay for itself in as little as three months.

Whether it’s a departmental server, an enterprise Data Centre, or anything in between, HP can meet your exact needs. You can choose the right levels of performance, availability, expandability, and manageability from the world’s most comprehensive industry-standard server and options portfolio.
