HP has announced a new portfolio of HP ProLiant Generation 9 (Gen9) Servers that will help customers reduce cost and complexity, accelerate IT service delivery and enable business growth. With new technology features and workload-optimised design, the new server portfolio advances HP’s vision for compute, the future of data center technology.
IT organisations—under increasing pressure to quickly and efficiently deliver more applications and services, as well as store and deliver exponentially increasing amounts of data while reducing costs—are constrained by traditional data center and server architectures. The new HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers are designed to address these challenges, delivering flexible, scalable computing resources that are aligned to companies’ business goals. The combination of HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers and HP Technology Services help customers capitalise on compute innovations while confidently moving their traditional infrastructure to the New Style of IT.
According to the company, the new HP ProLiant Gen9 portfolio is a major delivery milestone in HP’s compute strategy, which addresses IT demands with a vast pool of processing resources that can be located anywhere, scaled to any workload and available at all times. The servers are optimised for convergence, cloud and software-defined environments, and feature new technology innovations.
HP ProLiant Gen9 servers span four architectures—blade, rack, tower and scale-out—to give organisations the ability to triple compute capacity and increase efficiency across multiple workloads at a lower total cost of ownership with design optimization and automation. It offers accelerate IT service delivery and increase infrastructure provisioning up to 66 times faster when combined with HP OneView converged management features that will be available later this year. The portfolio can also improve workload performance of business-critical applications up to four times to drive business growth with unique HP storage, memory and networking innovations.
The rise of mobile, cloud, social and big data is driving the need for a new approach to the data center and its processing engine—the server—to enable successful business outcomes,” said Vikram K, Director, HP Servers, HP India. “HP created the x86 server market 25 years ago, and we have led this market ever since with innovations that have dramatically transformed the data center, such as HP Moonshot and HP Apollo. Today, we’re setting the stage for the next quarter century with HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers and compute, which combines the best of traditional IT and cloud environments to enable a truly software-defined enterprise.”
