HP ProLiant Gen9 servers promise to triple compute capacity

HP on Thursday unveiled new HP ProLiant Generation 9 (Gen9) Servers, promising to triple compute capacity.

The company said it is reimagining the server and thinking instead about compute – the vast pool of processing resources that are converged, software-defined, cloud-ready and workload-optimized for business growth.

Features of the new HP ProLiant Gen9 portfolio:

HP PCIe accelerators and HP DDR4 SmartMemory to increase compute capacity

Converged management across servers, storage and networking to enable software defined enterprise

Faster set-up, monitoring and firmware maintenance with embedded management, including UEFI and RESTful APIs for hybrid cloud environments

PCIe Accelerators, HP SmartCache and HP FlexFabric adapters to deliver improved performance

Antonio Neri, senior vice president and general manager, Servers and Networking, HP, said: “We are setting the stage for the next quarter century with HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers and compute, which combines the best of traditional IT and cloud environments to enable a software-defined enterprise.”
