HP ML350 HP ProLiant G6 Technology Overview - Page 2

Introducing the HP ProLiant G6 servers The sixth-generation (G6) of HP ProLiant DL, ML, and BL servers is the broadest range of servers in the industry based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series. The ProLiant G6 server lineup includes rack, tower, and server blades that provide industry-leading energy efficiency, extreme flexibility, and scalable performance. HP has also developed smart management tools that help you squeeze every bit of productivity out of each ProLiant G6 server and get the best return for your budget. Spend less for power and have more for your business ProLiant G6 servers deliver up to 2.5 times more power efficiency, compared to the previous generation of servers, through the use of Thermal Logic technology. Originally limited to the HP BladeSystem, Thermal Logic technology is now implemented across the ProLiant G6 server portfolio and includes Dynamic Power Capping, a 'Sea of Sensors', and common power slots. Triple the power capacity of your existing data center Dynamic Power Capping can help you reclaim power capacity hidden by overly conservative power allocation based on faceplate ratings. Reclaimed power capacity can triple your compute capability and extend the life of your data center up to 50%. Continuously optimize server efficiency A 'Sea of Sensors' monitors the internal environment of each ProLiant G6 server and intelligently manages power to major components in real-time, preventing over-heating or over-cooling, thereby optimizing efficiency. Maximize energy savings and reduce spares with common power slots Many ProLiant G6 servers have common power slots, which allow them to share a range of highly efficient power supplies. The common power slots allow you to right-size the power supply for each server to maximize power efficiency, and it decreases the number of spares in inventory. Unite physical and virtual environments to maximize productivity HP infrastructure and management tools can help you squeeze every bit of productivity out of ProLiant G6 servers. By uniting your physical and virtual server environments, these tools simplify setup and operations, reduce operating expenses, and decrease virtualization complexity. Reduce operating expenses The HP Insight Control suite and HP Insight Control suite for Linux include a complete set of lifecycle management tools that help you save time and money. Originally bundled only with HP BladeSystem enclosures, the Insight Control suite (ICE) is now available in select ProLiant G6 DL server models. Simplify setup and operations Every ProLiant G6 server includes the HP Onboard Administrator, which delivers simplified server setup, dynamic power and thermal control, embedded server health monitoring, and lights-out remote administration for individual servers from any location. Decrease virtualization complexity • HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant automates the migration process by moving your existing physical or virtual servers to the latest ProLiant G6 servers or to other virtualization platforms. • HP Insight Dynamics-VSE provides advanced management for the HP BladeSystem. Using logical servers, HP Insight Dynamics-VSE brings server blades and virtual machines together under a single management paradigm. It is the world's first integrated solution that lets you visualize, plan, and change physical and virtual resources in the same way. 2
