HP certainly isn’t shy about its ProLiant servers, since it claims the DL380 as the world’s most popular rack server, and the ML350 as one of the world’s most flexible tower servers. In this exclusive review, we take a closer look at the sixth generation of this pedestal server and see why HP is so excited about duality.

With the new ML350 you get two dual processors sockets supporting the latest 5500 Xeons, room for two power supplies, dual redundant cooling fans and a pair of Gigabit network ports. Also, HP claims the chassis is dual purpose since it supports either 3.5in or 2.5in SFF hard disks, SAS and SATA variants and you can fit two drive bays in it.

The chassis has good expansion potential, offering a quintet of 5.25in bays with one occupied by a DVD-ROM drive, while below is a large hard disk cage with versions available for eight SFF drives or six 3.5in models. The lower pair of expansion bays can be taken over by an optional second eight-slot bay for SFF drives, or you can add a dual-slot bay for the larger drives.

Check out this article which is reviewing HP’s Proliant ML350 G6, it’s one of their flexible tower servers, it’s always great to see what different people think about the servers. The ML350 G6 might be an ideal file server, or even as a virtualization platform for that small/medium business, it all depends on you and your business, as ever an interesting read, do check it out.
