HP new G7 rack and blades servers
Hewlett-Packard has recently announced new G7 blade and rack servers designed to deliver more performance while combining hardware and software capabilities to improve server reliability and lower energy costs.
The just-released G7 series of servers includes new processors from Intel and AMD, which help the servers deliver a big performance boost over its predecessors. The servers also include larger memory footprints of up to 2TB, and improved I/O technology for faster execution of data-intensive tasks.
The seven blade servers and three rack servers include Intel’s latest Xeon 5600 and 7500 series processors and AMD’s Opteron 6100 microprocessors.
The company is trying to improve server system architecture and scale up computing capabilities to effectively handle demanding workloads and exponential data growth.
The larger memory footprint could help servers accommodate more virtual machines in virtualized environments. The servers include management software to better manage virtualized environments.
The servers also include power management features that provide server administrators with stronger control over power drawn by servers.
