How are you going to scale out to petabytes with your current infrastructure?
Big data, largely unstructured such as messages, images, readings from sensors, and GPS signals from cell phones, are growing at an
exponential rate. The HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 Server solves the traditional structured database problems when dealing with big data.
Implementing a scale-out infrastructure will invariably result in challenges of data center capacity, spiraling energy costs,
infrastructure complexity and inefficiencies because today's siloed infrastructure is not optimized for scale-out server workloads
driven by big data. The SL4540 Gen8 Server is a server purpose-built for big data. A highly efficient converged design that delivers the
right combination of capacity and performance, in the least amount of space and at lower cost, with the reliability and manageability
you expect from HP ProLiant Gen8, the world's most intelligent servers.
