HP announced that scale-up HP ProLiant servers are the
leading choice for enterprise clients relying on large-scale, data-intensive
workloads and databases to drive innovation.
Scale-up servers are the highest capacity, most powerful
x86 systems available, specifically designed for tackling the toughest
application workloads, often with a single server. Clients choose HP scale-up
systems over a server farm or mainframe to simplify management, lower costs and
save space in the data center.
The No. 1 worldwide vendor of x86 systems, HP offers a
family of scale-up solutions that includes the HP
ProLiant DL980 G7, HP ProLiant DL580 G7, HP ProLiant BL680c G7 and
HP ProLiant BL620c G7 servers, and has the leading results for six of the
industry’s critical benchmarks.
With scalability of up to eight sockets, 80 cores and 4
terabytes (TB) of memory within a single server, these systems enable clients
to efficiently keep pace with data growth and respond to new opportunities.
Enterprise clients such as Easynet Global Services and
Gruppo Mediaset have implemented HP ProLiant server technology as part of an HP
Converged Infrastructure to improve operational efficiencies and speed
application delivery within their IT environments.
To expand its managed hosting services and update data
center operations, service provider Easynet Global Services selected HP
ProLiant DL580 G7 servers, which include the new Intel Scalable Memory Buffer.
With double the memory capacity and increased compute
power, Easynet can efficiently process data-intensive workloads and speed
application performance, resulting in significantly improved service levels.
Italian broadcast organization Gruppo Mediaset reduced
acquisition costs nearly 60 percent by replacing its legacy Cisco environment
with an HP Converged Infrastructure made up of HP ProLiant BL680c G7 and BL620c
G7 servers with HP Virtual Connect.
The HP systems with HP Virtual Connect enable system
administrators to connect servers and virtual machines to local and storage
area networks using less equipment. HP’s integrated solution allows Mediaset to
reduce component sprawl and improve content distribution while increasing
performance and flexibility.
In the incredibly fast-paced world of broadcasting, HP
ProLiant BL620c G7 and BL680c G7 server blades with HP Virtual Connect keep us
well ahead of our competition,” said Christiano Fumagalli, system architect,
Gruppo Mediaset.
We chose HP ProLiant servers for our data centers
because the modular design can be quickly scaled or upgraded to fit changing
needs, allowing us to combat data center sprawl,” Fumagalli added.
