HP ProLiant SL2500 Gen8
scalable system
Flexible compute and storage in a standard 2U chassis
In today's ever-growing data centers, space is always
at a premium. To gain the most value from the space
you have, you need scalable, density-optimized
servers that allow you to pack more processing power
into your existing footprint. That's the HP ProLiant SL2500
scalable system. This density-optimized workhorse
is an ideal solution for data centers focused on
Web services, hosting, mainstream computing, and
high-performance computing.
Make better use of your limited floor space
With up to four independent hot-pluggable servers in a standard 2U chassis, the
HP ProLiant SL2500 scalable system offers a very dense solution that is ideal for
your space-constrained data center. Each server node harnesses the performance
of dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors in a highly efficient package that shares
power and cooling and fits in industry-standard racks with standard rear cabling.
The ProLiant SL2500 scalable system provides all the features you would expect in
an enterprise server with the added benefit of optimization for efficiency, density,
and flexible configurations. With twice the density of standard rack servers, the
ProLiant SL2500 helps you make better use of your data center floor space, increase
performance, and reduce energy consumption.

Key features and benefits

Increase server and rack density
• Place up to four independent, hot-swappable server nodes in one chassis.
• Increase return on investment (ROI) on your existing investments by integrating the
latest processor technologies into your current rack-mount infrastructure.
• Double the compute density per "U" vs. standalone rack-mount servers with up
to 80 server nodes in a standard 42U rack.
• Choose from 12 large-form-factor (LFF) or 24 small-form-factor (SFF) drive options
to support demanding scale-out workloads.
