HP recently unveiled two new ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) four-socket servers that deliver compute power in less space.
The ProLiant BL660c and DL560 Gen8 servers incorporate HP ProActive Insight Architecture. These servers also reduce the time spent on maintenance tasks through automation and continuous monitoring of system health.
The virtualisation of compute-intensive applications in order to achieve greater utilisation and efficiency and to facilitate the move to private and hybrid clouds is continuous, according to HP.
Many of the company's clients have virtualised basic infrastructure and smaller workloads, but a challenge still remains with more complex and higher-end workloads.
Companies often face performance bottlenecks, data centre footprint and power limitations, and inadequate memory capacity from traditional two-socket servers, HP said.
As building blocks for HP Converged Infrastructure, these multiprocessor servers meet the demand for high-end compute power that enables companies to extend end-to-end virtualisation and provide a foundation for creating private and hybrid clouds.
The servers have a three-to-one sever consolidation rate, a reduced server footprint in the data centre, and offer four-socket density in half the size of previous generations.
The HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8 server also provides a space-minimising four-socket server in a 2U form factor.
