When I was speaking to Chris in sunny Canary Wharf, he asked me the unique selling points of the Proliant G6 server line.

At this point I asked him why, “Just testing, besides we’re thinking of buying a few to test and I wondered what you knew about them.”

With this in mind and not liking to stand down from a challenge (it’s totally off the top of my head with no preparation):

  1. They use the new Intel processor which is faster and more efficient
  2. Common power slot throughout the servers
  3. The sea of sensors thing -  that allows the monitoring tools to adjust components to improve efficiency and cooling
  4. The on board administrator – I confess that I have yet to see the on board administrator in action
  5. I know they’re meant to be a lot more efficient when compared to previous generations of HP Proliant servers

With that I told him that when he got them in to let me know and I might be in the area so he can show me them and explain what he thinks.
