HP ProLiant Gen8 ServersThe World’s Most Self-Sufficient Servers

Making the Cloud Self-SufficientHP ProLiant Gen 8 servers extend HP's portfolio as part of Project Voyager, HP's multiyear transformation plan for the server market.

The e-Series portfolio — the new 1-socket HP ProLiant DL320e and ML310e ProLiant Gen8 servers — are ideally suited for entry level workloads.

The new 4-socket ProLiant BL660c and DL560 Gen8 servers are density-optimized to deliver increased compute power in less space.

Who needs self-sufficient servers? IT does, and for several good reasons.

Most important:

manual server operations are dragging IT down, making it harder to implement private and hybrid clouds.

Who needs self-sufficient servers?

A recent HP study found:manual operations

cost companies

$24 million over three years

51% of server outages are tied to human error

manual facility optimization drives up

energy costs up to

$29 million over three years

unplanned downtime costs clients about

• Provision a server remotely using HP iLO 4

• "Recommended Install" for quick one-click fast installation

• Three seconds to start-up screen

• 45% fewer steps

• 3x faster system deployment

• Faster resolution for install issues, which minimizes or eliminates downtime

HP Intelligent Provisioning makes the servers ready to deploy and update without the need for HP discs or downloads. The software is now embedded on a flash chip on ProLiant Gen8 servers and Gen8 server blades. Intelligent Provisioning includes all the configuration utilities you are accustomed to with SmartStart, plus many new ones.

HP ProLiant Gen8 servers are different right out of the box.

Get up and running – FAST

Troubleshooting becomes trouble-free... ...with HP Active Health System, a 24/7 mission control for your server.

HP Active Health System is an essential component of the HP iLO Management Engine. It wraps diagnostics, tools, and scanners into a single interface. Using Active Health System, IT gains access to nearly 1,700 system parameters – up from about 420 parameters that were monitored previously. Up to a year’s worth of data can be exported and uploaded to service giving users a much higher level of support.

Active Health = Deep Analysis

The Active Health System delivers maximum uptime through :

All logs are stored on the server and stay there, and only information about system items are collected. You can also turn off any monitoring at any time via iLO. This keeps your cloud up and running – and keeps end users satisfied.

Diagnostics Alerting

Security is paramount.

HP Agentless Management

Outages and system issues are discovered and mitigated faster with Agentless Management.

HP’s iLO also supports Inventory and Configuration, Health Status, SNMP Alerting, Pre-Failure Alerting, Redundancy Status and Alerting, and SNMP Data Collection.

IT no longer has to load and manage agents so there’s no performance impact.

The system is continuously running diagnostics to minimize downtime.

Everything runs from and is embedded in iLO.

• CPUs

• Memory

• Temperature Sensors

• Fans

• Power Supplies

• SmartArray controllers (including cache modules)

• Both Logical and Physical Drives (internal to the server) that are connected to the SmartArray controller.
