  • Page 2: Introducing The Hp Proliant G6 Servers

    Introducing the HP ProLiant G6 servers The sixth-generation (G6) of HP ProLiant DL, ML, and BL servers is the broadest range of servers in the industry based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series. The ProLiant G6 server lineup includes ®...
  • Page 3: Make Every Server Purchase Count

    • HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology is available on all ProLiant 400 and 600 series G6 server blades. It is the world’s first technology that allows you to divide and fine-tune 10Gb Ethernet network bandwidth to match virtual server demands. It provides four times more network ports per server blade, cutting network connection costs by up to 75% per virtual server.
  • Page 4: Integrated Memory Controller

    Integrated memory controller One of the most notable improvements in Intel Xeon 5500 series processors is the integrated memory controller. The memory controller uses three channels (up to 1333-MHz each) to access dedicated DDR-3 memory sockets. This delivers a big performance improvement over previous architectures that provide only two memory channels and require processors to share a single pool of system memory.
  • Page 5: Smart Array Technology

    DIMMs, the memory bus speed drops to 800 MHz to maintain signal integrity. Therefore, the type of workload dictates the optimum number and type of DIMMs to use. Memory capacity may be of primary importance in virtualization environments, while memory channel speed may be more critical for high performance computing applications.
  • Page 6: Thermal Logic Technologies

    Thermal Logic technologies HP is extending Thermal Logic technologies—originally offered on the HP BladeSystem—to all ProLiant ML, DL, and BL G6 servers. Thermal Logic technologies include Dynamic Power Capping, thermal sensors, and common slot power supplies. Together, these technologies double the power efficiency of ProLiant G6 servers compared to the previous generation of servers.

    lowers power use by allowing you to right-size the power supply for the server configuration. There are three common slot AC power supplies: 460 watt, 750 watt and 1200 watt. The AC power supplies work with input voltages from 100 to 240 volts, making them usable worldwide. These power supplies provide up to 92% efficiency, which meets Climate Savers Gold qualifications.
  • Page 8: Virtualization Technologies

    • Extended embedded health – Use ProLiant Onboard Administrator’s embedded health monitoring to determine the status of important server components, regardless of whether the OS is running or offline. • Power and thermal control – Use power and thermal controls embedded into ProLiant Onboard Administrator to reduce server power consumption by regulating processor clock speed and by providing an optional high-efficiency mode for power supplies.

    Virtual Connect interface, you can adjust the bandwidth available to each FlexNIC from 100Mb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments. The advantages of using Flex-10 technology are significant. The 10GbE infrastructure becomes more cost efficient and easier to manage because Flex-10 allows you to fully utilize the 10-Gb bandwidth. The fact that Flex-10 is hardware based means that multiple FlexNICs are added without the additional processor overhead or latency associated with server virtualization.
