In addition, energy-efficiency innovations in the HP ProLiant platforms, combined with the new AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors, deliver a 27 times performance-per-watt increase.⁽¹⁾

Delivering a 23:1 consolidation ratio, HP ProLiant G7 servers with AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series processors increase operational efficiencies, paying for themselves in as little as two months.⁽¹⁾ The line includes the HP ProLiant DL165 G7 and HP ProLiant DL385 G7 rack-optimized servers, as well as the HP ProLiant SL165z G7 scale-out “skinless” server.

HP ProLiant servers are part of the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio, which integrates servers, storage, network devices and facility resources into a common environment, allowing IT to rapidly respond to business demands. HP ProLiant servers provide modular, standards-based building blocks that advance clients toward a converged infrastructure.

MLS Property Information Network Inc. (MLS PIN) is one of the largest multiple listing service (MLS) companies in the United States, serving nearly 30 thousand subscribers. The company turned to HP ProLiant servers on AMD processors to improve customer experience.

“We face seasonal demand that increases by more than 500 percent during the spring and, until recently, this strain on our server infrastructure affected our ability to provide great service to our customers,” said Matt Lavallee, director, Technology, MLS PIN. “Now, we’ve doubled the number of concurrent users we can support while delivering dramatically faster page load times. HP’s integrated Thermal Logic technology will help us reduce our total power and cooling costs by 60 percent over the long term.”

Built for energy savings
HP ProLiant servers include HP Thermal Logic technologies to reduce power consumption by as much as 96 percent.⁽²⁾ Power savings are achieved through the combination of the following energy-saving features:

— HP Sea of Sensors – optimizes system cooling and increases efficiency by automatically tracking thermal activity through a collection of up to 32 smart sensors placed strategically throughout the server. The sensors automatically adjust system components such as fans, memory and input/output processing to reduce energy usage.

— HP Dynamic Power Capping technology in HP Insight Control – improves data center utilization and reclaims overprovisioned energy by enabling IT managers to accurately monitor and control the power used by each server. By capping server power usage, clients can triple their data center capacity.⁽³⁾

— HP Power Advisor – enables clients to improve energy efficiency by more accurately configuring systems based on real-time power guidance for their specific workloads.

It’s great to see continued innovation of the Proliant platform based on the new AMD Opteron 6100 Series processor, the quoted energy savings and efficiency improvements are impressive, it will be interesting to see if there will be any further innovation around the systems management and administration, I’m off to read up more about them.
