HP ProLiant DL380 G5

The new HP ProLiant DL380 (DL 380 G5), the largest server in the world, confirms its reputation as a server with unsurpassed uptime and enterprise-level manageability, high performance of two Intel Xeon processors. With a rack height of only 2U, it is great for deployment in rack-mount infrastructure and various applications.

The ProLiant DL380 G5 is based on the platform with the new Intel dual-core Xeon® 5000 and 5100 series processors.

The new HP ProLiant DL380, the best-selling server of all, confirms its reputation as a server with unmatched uptime and enterprise-level manageability and high-performance dual Intel Xeon processors. With a rack height of only 2U, it is great for deployment in rack-mount infrastructure and for performing various tasks and applications.

HP has refined the core server components with a balanced system architecture that maximizes dual-core processor performance and overall system performance for mission-critical applications and virtual server environments. These enhancements include the new HP Smart Array RAID Controllers and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Small Form Factor Drives, feature-rich networking devices, increased memory capacity, and high-speed remote access.

The HP Integrated Lights Out 2 (iLO 2) system integrated into the HP ProLiant ProLiant DL380 G5 provides the ability to remotely control the server via LAN or the Internet regardless of the status / performance of the server.

The latest generation of servers is based on a platform with the new Intel dual-core processors Xeon® 5000 and 5100 series, which implements a huge number of innovations and modern server technologies:

• dual-core processors are manufactured according to the 65-nm process technology and have reduced heat;

• two independent memory buses with a total bandwidth of up to 21 GB / s at a frequency of 1333 MHz and up to 17 GB / s at a frequency of 1066 MHz;

• Fully buffered memory modules with double-row FBDIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM), providing a new memory interface to accelerate data transfer, as well as increasing signal integrity and error detection;

• Intel® I / O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I / OAT), which includes the function of unloading the processor when working with the TCP protocol (TCP Offload Engine) and optimized data flow (optimized data movement) through the platform, which allows the network controller to write data directly to RAM;

• Enhanced Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) virtualization technology, which simplifies the support of virtual machines (VMs), such as VMware ESX, Microsoft Virtual Server or Xen, and improves their implementation;

• PCI-Express I / O support for high-performance communications via Ethernet, RAID, InfiniBand, etc.
