HP launches new generation of ProLiant servers

HP has introduced three HP ProLiant G7 server platforms that offer a significant performance boost and enhanced power savings over previous generations.

Delivering a 23:1 consolidation ratio, HP ProLiant G7 servers with AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors increase operational efficiencies, paying for themselves in as little as two months. The line includes the HP ProLiant DL165 G7 and HP ProLiant DL385 G7 rack-optimized servers, as well as the HP ProLiant SL165z G7 scale-out “skinless” server.

HP ProLiant servers are part of the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio, which integrates servers, storage, network devices and facility resources into a common environment, allowing IT to rapidly respond to business demands. HP ProLiant servers provide modular, standards-based building blocks that advance clients toward a converged infrastructure.

MLS Property Information Network Inc. (MLS PIN) is one of the largest multiple listing service (MLS) companies in the United States, serving nearly 30 thousand subscribers. The company turned to HP ProLiant servers on AMD processors to improve customer experience.

“We face seasonal demand that increases by more than 500 percent during the spring and, until recently, this strain on our server infrastructure affected our ability to provide great service to our customers,” said Matt Lavallee, director, Technology, MLS PIN. “Now, we’ve doubled the number of concurrent users we can support while delivering dramatically faster page load times. HP’s integrated Thermal Logic technology will help us reduce our total power and cooling costs by 60 percent over the long term.”
