Capacity up to 240TB HP push large data Dedicated server

HP January 11, 2013 announced the launch of the industry's first dedicated server for large data, designed to help customers explore new business opportunities and save up to $1 million in three years.

With the advent of large data software and its benefits, many organizations have tried to deploy these solutions on existing architectures, and the architecture is not designed for the specific requirements of large data workloads. So, from a performance and cost standpoint, these early deployments didn't work out the best.

"Hadoop, MPP Data Warehouse, large data analysis and object storage, and other large application environments have great differences in workload requirements," said Dan Vesset, vice president of IDC Business Analytics. Given that massive, fast-changing data needs to be quickly stored and accessed, and end-user requirements vary, these workloads can be highly diverse, complex, and inefficient when running on traditional hardware infrastructures. In order to take full advantage of large data, it is critical to optimize the underlying infrastructure for workloads. ”

The new HP ProLiant SL4500 series server is the only solution developed specifically for a large data environment. As an ultra-high density solution, it provides the maximum performance, productivity, and cost-effectiveness required by the workload. The HP Integrated infrastructure server has an efficient design that can save up to 50% footprint, 61% power consumption, 31% cost and 63% cable.

Modular architecture optimizes applications for specific workloads

The modular design of the HP ProLiant SL4500 series servers provides a variety of computing and storage configurations that enable customers to optimize the infrastructure for the application of a particular workload without the need to cobble together the hardware that does not apply.

With a single, economic architecture, the HP ProLiant SL4500 series servers also support a number of Apache Hadoop manufacturers such as Cloudera and Hortonworks, as well as OpenStack Cloud Other software such as software and MongoDB.

"For companies that use Cloudera large data platforms to gain insights from their entire data, the infrastructure components that are optimized for deploying the demanding requirements of large data workloads will benefit," says Cloudera, chief technology officer Amr Awadallah. With servers designed for large data, HP offers a seamless new way to handle large datasets cost-effectively and efficiently. ”

HP Innovation delivers higher performance and density

HP ProLiant SL4500 GEN8 series servers with HP Smart Array technology provide industry-leading performance with an input/output per second (IOPS) of nearly 7 times times the existing architecture (2). With the intelligent analysis of HP Smart cache (HP Smartcache), the system optimizes storage traffic to ensure minimal response latency and upfront investment.

Currently, server products in the marketplace are unable to accommodate the rapid growth in storage and computing power of large data, forcing IT leaders to buy more expensive data center space. However, the new HP ProLiant SL4500 series Server addresses this issue, and its industry-leading storage density delivers up to 240TB of storage capacity in a 4.3 rack unit (U) chassis, or 2.16PB storage capacity through 9 servers in an industry-standard 42U rack. This extremely high density can help customers to significantly reduce costs, improve performance and efficiency.

Protects large data, simplifies management and support with HP ProLiant GEN8

The HP SL4500 series server, the newest member of the HP ProLiant Gen8 Server family, employs the HP Proactive Insight architecture, which incorporates intelligent and automated capabilities, enabling customers to:

-Eliminate downtime and protect valuable data by automating data protection and HP predictive redeemed activation. HP predictive redeemed activation can transfer data to a standby device before a failure occurs.

-Ensure maximum server efficiency through HP Active Health monitoring (HP active Tiyatien) and implement automatic firmware updates via HP Smart Update (HP Smart updates).

-Enjoy the most comprehensive service, support and warranty in the industry through HP Insight online.

-Reduce power costs for data centers through HP's smart infrastructure (HP Intelligent infrastructure), with a maximum performance of 70% per watt than in previous generations.

HP Enhanced Scale-out Server product portfolio

HP has also announced updates to its high-performance computing (HPC) series, enabling customers to leverage Intel's and Nvidia's latest processing technology to maximize performance.

HP ProLiant sl270s GEN8 servers provide maximum processor density, each server can support up to 8 Intel? Xeon Core coprocessor or 8 nvidia? Kepler? Graphics processor (GPU). The HP ProLiant sl270s and sl250s GEN8 servers now support the latest Nvidia Kepler GPU and the newly released Intel Xeon Fusion coprocessor, enabling customers to choose the best accelerator or coprocessor for their workloads.
