HP ProLiant BL660c Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 10

improvements include authentication, failure logging, and integration with the HP Active Health System. HP Host Bus Adapters We are reintroducing SAS HBAs to address the need for low-cost direct-attached storage, singledomain JBODs, tape drives, libraries, and shared storage arrays. H-Series SAS HBAs for ProLiant Gen8 servers are low-profile cards or an adapter embedded in the system board. The H-Series HBA supports 6 Gb/s SAS, SATA, or SSD. It also supports shared external storage and multi-LUN tape libraries or external tape. HP IO Accelerators HP IO Accelerators are available for ProLiant DL and BL servers. For ProLiant Gen8 servers, we will be moving to 25nm NAND technology that will improve performance. The HP IO Accelerator takes application performance to another level by moving storage closer to the CPU. The HP IO Accelerator has a latency of about 30 microseconds compared to 100 milliseconds for array controllers. The HP IO Accelerator greatly increases performance for the following applications: Enterprise resource planning (ERP) Exchange SharePoint Business Intelligence and data warehousing Virtualization Multimedia Medical imaging Management technologies In every HP ProLiant Gen8 server, we integrate management and support software technologies into a seamless experience across the server lifecycle, including: Server management-HP iLO Management Engine Power monitoring and management-HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 and HP Insight Control power management software Firmware and system software management-Service Pack for ProLiant and HP Smart Update Manager 5.0 Server management-HP iLO Management Engine HP iLO Management Engine is a suite of embedded management technologies that comes standard on all ProLiant Gen8 Servers. These technologies support the complete lifecycle of the server, including initial deployment, ongoing management, service alerting, and remote support (coming soon). HP iLO management processor The HP iLO management processor sits at the core of the HP iLO Management Engine. HP iLO simplifies server setup; engages health monitoring, power, and thermal control; and enables remote administration for all HP ProLiant Gen8 servers. We've developed the HP iLO Mobile App that lets 10
