The HP Smart Buy program offers mainstream business solutions at competitive prices with amazing savings, excellent availability and superior HP quality.
HP server networks reduce overhead cost with simple and cost-effective setup and administration. Business risks are easier to mitigate with superior reliability and improved data protection. And efficient and dependable resource access accelerates growth with enhanced productivity. And if you already operate a server network, refreshing or expanding it with HP server solutions can help increase performance and availability and cope with increased workload.
HP ProLiant 300-series servers have been the focus of extensive engineering and development. These Intel-based G6 and G7 servers are characterized by increased performance, better power efficiency, and more powerful management tools. Several key technologies are included :
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 and 5600 Series
Double Data Rate-3 (DDR3) DIMMs
Thermal sensors incorporated throughout the ProLiant 300-series G6 and G7 servers
Integrated Lights-Out 2 and 3 (iLO 2, iLO 3) that deliver power and temperature management through multiple sensors and fan control
Dynamic Power Capping that limits peak power consumption without risk of overloading data center branch circuits
I/O technologies such as PCIe generation 2 (PCIe 2.0) and faster Smart Array controllers that incorporate common form factor components
B110i software RAID with support for Hot Plug drives in the embedded SATA controller
Flash-backed write cache for Smart Array controllers
Common Slot power supplies to provide the required amount of power and improve power efficiency
The technologies discussed in this paper are implemented in all Intel-based ProLiant 300-series G6 and G7 servers. Exceptions are noted where different levels of technology implementation or service exist among individual ProLiant 300-series platforms.
