Can server intelligence go beyond just a possibility?
The data center, as we knew it, has evolved. IT organisations today grapple with data explosion while facing constant pressure to be more efficient, cost effective and productive. Add to this the stress of IT sprawl, network bottlenecks and the possibility of downtime that could lead to increased expenses in more ways than one and you have one very complex IT situation at hand.
Data center management is much simpler when you have a conducive environment that intuitively knows how to make intelligent choices, one that allows you to focus more on your business and less on resolving IT problems, one that is designed to anticipate your evolving needs and one that assists you in eliminating common issues that result in downtime. The ProLiant BL465c Gen8 Server, designed for mid market and enterprise IT environments, can help you do all of this and more.
The ProLiant BL465c Gen8 Server supports the HP integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management engine, with a complete set of embedded management features throughout the life cycle of the server, from initial deployment, through ongoing management, including service alerting and remote support. HP iLO includes HP intelligent provisioning, HP Agentless management, HP active health system and HP insight remote support.
An intelligent server environment can meet the needs of your growing business, while enhancing the performance of your applications and improving the computing power of your business.
The ProLiant BL465c Gen8 Server supports:
Hp Smart Memory, with build in intelligence that improves performance while reducing downtime and energy costs, which offers:
- 25 percent higher bandwidth with up to 20 percent less power without impacting performance
- Advanced memory error detection to reduce unplanned downtime
- Future enhanced support through HP Active Health System
The HP Smart array P220i controller that provides:
- Integrated 6G SAS controller with RAID 0 and 1
- 512 MB flash backed write cache (FBWC)
- Performance improvement over the G7 smart array P410i controller
The HP Smart Drive hot plug drive carrier that enables:
- Improved drive status indication with intuitive icon based display
- Reduced data loss and improved serviceability with the "do not removed LED" feature
HP I/O mezzanine expansion slots that deliver:
- Increased bandwidth with up to 200 percent bandwidth per slot
- Future proof technology for today and tomorrow
The iLo management engine, with core life cycle management functions for instant availability that offers:
- HP intelligent provisioning for "ready to deploy and update" convenience without the need for HP discs or downloads
- HP Agenteless management for base hardware health monitoring and alerting without OS agents
- HP Active health system for continuously running diagnostics to lower downtime
- HP Insight remote support for rapid phone- home support setup and configuration
Redefine your server experience
- Anticipate server needs with user-inspired features, such as HP Smart Drive that addresses common issues resulting in downtime.
- Utilize embedded provisioning tools, Active Health monitoring and other system maintenance capabilities built using the industry-leading iLO management engine.
- Enable smarter data protection with dynamic workload acceleration for ever increasing drive capacities, real time workload aware analysis to enhance and adapt to storage performance and 6x faster solid state performance vs. the previous generation.
- Improve visibility and control over the energy efficiency of your data center with automated energy optimization
- Identify server location and inventory through insight control for enhanced workload efficiency across your entire data center.
Do away with tedious, time consuming tasks
- HP Intelligent Provisioning is a single, embedded tool for all server set up and configuration tasks. All of the firmware, drivers and tools that you need to quickly get your systems online is built into Gen8 servers, no more CDs or DVDs needed.
- HP active health provides 24x7 continuous agentless health monitoring and alerting and 100 percent configuration change logging. Start problem analysis faster using unified diagnostic tools with secure data transfer to HP service and support
- Smart update is a breakthrough system maintenance tool with one click simplicity that systematically updates firmware and system software across servers and blade infrastructures at the scale of your data center
Improve application, storage and I/O performance
