HP today announced that its newest internal data center is experiencing faster information throughput and lower energy consumption by running entirely on HP Networking equipment.

The new data center, located in the Houston area, is one of six internal facilities running HP’s worldwide business operations. It currently includes 34 3Com core switching and routing devices, more than 300 HP ProCurve switches and four TippingPoint intrusion detection and prevention devices.

The new HP Networking portfolio – which integrates the 3Com portfolio – has enabled the company to achieve twice the port and capacity density, and a 50 percent reduction in power consumption versus previous solutions. Using an architecture built on open standards, the company’s global IT organization worked with HP Networking teams to redesign the architecture with new products.

Improvements within the data center include the core router throughput performance of the 3Com product, which exceeds 2.1 billion packets of data per second, versus less than 1 billion for the current market leader’s fastest data center product. 3Com also has full multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) in all chassis, while competitive offerings do not.

It’s great to see how HP are achieving enhanced throughput and power consumption using their ProCurve and 3Com network technologies, that we can illustrate the concepts of improving efficiency of the stack, from the network, the server and the storage up is a great message, and it’s interesting to see what innovations they are making in this space, do check it out.
