•
HP SmartMemory:
Authenticates memory, ensuring that the highest of quality standards are
met. Since the memory has been customized for HP ProLiant, HP SmartMemory enables the
servers to run speeds greater than third party memory can provide. The server also offers
a 32 GB LRDIMM which gives a maximum capacity of 768 GB, and speed up to 1866 MHz.
•
HP FlexibleNetwork Adapters:
Offers you a choice of increased configuration flexibility and
faster serviceability. Removable and replaceable, the family of Flexible Networking solutions
allows you to easily adopt a 4-port 1 GB solution, or implement a 2-port 10 GB, CNA, or
InfiniBand solution when the need arises.
•
ProLiant 3D Sea of Sensors:
Enables energy savings by facilitating more efficient fan usage
to cool the server. The web of temperature sensors allows for precise and efficient cooling by
providing a more complete, literally 3D view of temperature in the server so that server fans
can direct cooling where it is most required.
•
ENERGY STAR

certified:
Helps your business conserve energy and save money. The ENERGY
STAR program is qualified by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Why HP?
The use of a single iLO version on all our ProLiant Gen8 servers makes them consistent, simpler,
and easier to manage. Additionally, the embedded provisioning enables a server startup that is
simplified and time-efficient. The ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Server comes with new drive carriers,
faster array controllers, and faster, lower voltage memory, giving you more internal storage
and better performance. Also, the active health system with an always-on diagnostic analysis
enables faster time to resolution.
Embedded firmware, update tools, and new system software service pack releases for
HP ProLiant enable automated scan and updates. This saves precious time and reduces
complexity. And, with embedded, agentless management, you get health monitoring without
loading operating system agents, which leads to better performance and management insight.
