HP Proliant DL380 G6

HP has launched the ProLiant DL380 G6 Server. This continues to deliver on its heritage of engineering excellence with increased flexibility and performance, enterprise-class uptime and HP Insight Control manageability, 2 socket Intel® Xeon® performance, and 2U density for a variety of applications.

The latest generation of ProLiant DL380 servers, G6 was launched in May 2009. The range includes 11 new and updated servers; all based on the Intel Xeon 5500 CPUs. The Intel 5500 CPUs are designed for 1P(single processor) and 2P(dual processor) servers.

The G6 servers offer increased performance, reduced power consumption, and greater configuration flexibility with 50-100% increase in the amount of RAM per server, common slot power supplies, LOTs (32) of sensors for increased performance per watt, more local disks (e.g. 16 SFF disks in a DL380) and more options for  RAID controllers with 2x performance. All of this means more increased consolidation ratios with more virtual machines per server, more workloads per server, larger databases on less expensive hardware and much more.
