In HP has announced the industrys most self-sufficient line of servers the HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8). The company has unveiled its ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) line of servers as a result of a $300 million, two-year program called Project Voyager.
HP ProLiant servers leverage the ProActive Insight architecture, a combination of tightly integrated hardware and software, to deliver intelligence and management of server health, power usage and other important diagnostics. The built-in location awareness, real-time temperature data and automatic power tracking enables automation of energy optimisation in datacentres.
It aims to speed up application deployment by automating manual tasks, improve data-intensive storage performance, double the compute-per-watt capacity and improve first time issue resolution rates.
HP is offering the ProActive Insight architecture services through the HP ServiceONE partner program in aiding partners to expand their technology services portfolio or offer co-branded services.
The portfolio includes: the BL460c Gen8, the HP Proliant DL360p Gen8, the HP Proliant DL380p Gen8, the HP Proliant ML350P Gen8, the HP Proliant SL230s Gen8, the HP Proliant SL250s Gen8 and the HP Proliant DL160 Gen8.
Companies spend on average of $24 million over three years on manual operations to support servers. HP ProLiant Gen8 triples administrator productivity by eliminating most manual operations such as server updates, which typically take five hours of administrator time per rack of servers. The industry-first HP Smart Update feature can perform the same update in 10 minutes or less, says an HP official.
The official goes on to add that unplanned downtime costs clients approximately $10 million an hour. With industry-first HP Active Health and HP Insight Online technologies, HP ProLiant Gen8 is the only server that automatically analyzes its own health across 1,600 data points. Through self monitoring, self diagnosing and proactive support, clients can resolve unplanned downtime issues up to 66 percent faster.
The skyrocketing cost of operations in the data center is unsustainable, and enterprises are looking to HP to help solve this problem, said Vikram K, Director, Industry Standard Servers, HP India. We are delivering innovative intelligence technologies that enable servers to virtually take care of themselves, allowing data center staff to devote more time to business innovation.
