HP on Tuesday announced the industry's most self-sufficient line of servers - the HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8). HP ProLiant Gen8 servers are the result of a 300 million dollars' two-year programme called Project Voyager, the company's initiative to redefine data centre economics by automating every aspect of the server life cycle.
To date, Project Voyager has resulted in more than 900 patents filed and a new systems architecture called HP ProActive Insight architecture, which will span the entire HP Converged Infrastructure. With intelligent technologies that automate tasks and significantly improve uptime, HP ProLiant Gen 8 with HP ProActive Insight architecture addresses the top concerns of enterprises. For example, in a typical 10,000 square foot data centre:
Companies spend on average of 24 million dollars over three years on manual operations to support servers. "The skyrocketing cost of operations in the data centre is unsustainable, and enterprises are looking to HP to help solve this problem," said Hemant Kumar Tiwari, General Manager, Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking (ESSN), HP Southeast Asia. "We are delivering innovative intelligence technologies that enable servers to virtually take care of themselves, allowing data centre staff to devote more time to business innovation."-PR
