Comprehensive upgrade of Xeon 7500 HP G7 servers (1)

After Intel launched the New 32 nm Xeon March processor in 5600, HP announced that G6 servers could smoothly support the processor, and released a new series of ProLiant G7 server platforms by the end of May. The 7th generation server platform contains more than 10 products, such as racks and blades. recommended Article: No score, no advertisement! 19 screenshots of the HP G7 server ).

The G6 server, the last generation of G7, must be familiar to everyone. It supports Xeon 5500 and Xeon 5600. We will not elaborate on it too much here. The new G7 platform has many innovations in product models, performance management, and energy consumption reduction. This article compares the differences between the upgraded G7 rack servers.

1. Comparison of technical specifications of HP G7 Server Platform

Currently, G7 products include four rack products. Two-way DL 360G7, dl1_g7, DL 388G7, and four-way DL 580G7.

The first three products use a Xeon 5600 processor, and the last one is equipped with a Xeon 7500 processor.

G7 corresponds to G6. That is, DL 360G7 <--> DL 360G6, DL rjg7 <--> DL rjg6, DL 580G7 <--> DL 580G5, while DL 388G7 is a new model. However, the product architecture is similar to DL sans G7 and may replace DL380 in the future.

According to the technical parameters of the product, the upgrade of the four products in the processor is not easy to say. The memory slots are significantly improved. The three dual-rack servers have a maximum of 18 DIMM memory slots and a maximum memory of 192 GB. Compared with the G6 model, the maximum memory is only 144 GB. It is worth mentioning that the DL 580G7 has 64 DIMM memory, up to 1 TB. Compared to the 32 DIMM slots of DL 580G5, the total size is doubled. However, in the same Rack Space, the cost is the number of hard disks. Compared to the number of 16 hard disks in DL 580G5, DL 580G7 is half smaller.
