ProLiant ML530 High-Performance Technologies

abstract

introduction

The ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 (G2) server features new technologies that improve on
the performance, scalability, fault tolerance, and manageability of the first generation
ProLiant ML530 server. A discussion of all these technology improvements is beyond the
scope of this document. This paper focuses on the synergy of the server's high-
performance technologies that provide the balanced system architecture of this mid-
range departmental server.
The ProLiant ML530 G2 server (Figure 1) is a high-performance 2-way server with
optimized system resources for intensive data center and remote office environments. The
server is designed with a balanced system architecture (2.8-GHz Intel® Xeon™
processors, Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM, and PCI-X technology) to maximize
application performance and user workload. The system architecture is balanced by an
enterprise-class chipset (the ServerWorks Grand Champion HE) that supports up to
16 gigabytes (GB) of memory and seven 64-bit, 100-MHz PCI-X slots.
The performance and scalability of the ProLiant ML530 G2 server make it a flexible
solution for applications such as:
• server consolidation
• remote site or branch office server
• high-performance, low-cost database engine
• mail and messaging
• dedicated application server

First, this paper describes the overall system architecture of the ProLiant ML530 G2
server. Then it describes the high performance features of the individual processor,
memory, and input/output (I/O) subsystems in more detail.
