HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Series

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:03:34 -0400

The HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Series of servers offered by HP are designed with reliability, expandibility, performance and environmental features that make them one of the most flexible tower servers available. These servers have high priority on dual features, such as dual socket, dual redundant hot plug power supplies, dual redundant fans, and dual purpose chassis that can support either the 2.5-inch (SFF) or 3.5-inch (LFF) SAS or SATA drives. New to this line are the Intel Xeon Quad-Core X5460, low power Quad-Core L5420 and higher speed Dual-Core X5260 Processors. A flexible modular chassis, integrated Lights-Out 2 remote management, five media bays for more devices and a secure lockable tower bezel with removable media bay cover make this an ideal choice for remote and branch office deployments. For small and medium businesses, the price-performance value, whisper quiet fans, expandibility and enhanced memory configuration make this also an ideal choice.

IBM BladeCenter HS21, released in 2007, is a high-density blade server supported in all IBM BladeCenter chassis. It comes in the low range of the IBM BladeCenter server portfolio. High-density means that a lot of CPU power is packed into a small compact blade which has all the properties of a typical PC while requiring little power and cooling costs, and a chassis is a frame that holds in it many such blades. The selling point here is:a server blade that has a lot of power that can occupy as little real estate as possible, and is compatible with the existing frames (chassis) and requires little maintenance from the purchasing company. This machine also has Integrated System Management Processor, light path diagnostics, and Predictive Failure Analysis combine to provide powerful management capabilities. It also has IBM Systems Director provides remote management from a single graphical console—helping simplify and automate IT and networking tasks.

This blade can be easily added or changed in the same server rack without disrupting the operation of the other blades installed in the same rack. Meaning: less disruption to business and more modularity and flexibility.
