HP Discover 2013: HP announces 3 new Proliant Servers

At HP Discover 2013, HP announced the release of three new HP Proliant servers: the HP Proliant DL320e Gen8 v2 server, the HP Proliant ML310e server, and the HP Proliant MicroServer Gen 8.

Suffice it to say, I felt that HP was addressing me directly, and making these servers available in an attempt to satisfy our – Logikworx’s needs for SMB and entry level servers for the upcoming server refresh season.

HP Proliant DL320e Gen8 v2
c03781074The Proliant DL320e Gen8 v2 is a 1U form factor tool-less access rackmount server. Boasting of HP’s Gen8 ‘sea of sensors’ among other innovations, the latest Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 series CPUs, supporting up to 3.6 GHz and 4 cores, support for up to two Large Form Factor (LFF) or four Small Form Factor (SFF) drives, four DDR3 UDIMMs, and 300 W or 750 W power supplies. Additionally, the DL320e Gen8 v2 Server supports the 24-port HP 1810 Switch Series. That, is pure icing on this cake!

Check out the following enhancements to this server:

  • Latest Intel Xeon E3-1200v3 Series processors
  • Dedicated iLO connection for faster and more secured data transmission
  • Windows Server 2012 compatibility
  • Energy efficient Ethernet network adapter
  • Seamless network connectivity that extends the benefits of Converged Infrastructure

HP Proliant MicroServer Gen8
c03760124Another Logikworx favorite, this Little-Server-That-Could is the Gen8 version of a server that we have placed into many roles with great success.

Proliant MicroServer Gen8 comes with HP iLO4, Intelligent Provisioning for quick and simple installation and Instant out-of-box server set up and deployment. It also has embedded remote management technology.

I am looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on these babies shortly.
