Earlier this month in Barcelona, HP’s Converged Infrastructure team announced a new set of solutions in networking, security and scalable computing.
Here is a video of the announcement:
Quick features:
HP Networking Solutions
- The HP Branch Office Networking Solution pre-integrates everything needed for branch office connectivity and high-quality application service delivery in a turnkey offering. It combines the simplicity of a highly integrated solution with the flexibility to deploy 14 best-in-class software applications from 12 HP AllianceONE partners. The new HP solution converges key network infrastructure technologies into a modular platform that accelerates application response times, improves employee communications and strengthens security.
- The Application Digital Vaccine (AppDV) service, a set of specially designed filters that can control access and usage of applications on the corporate or government network. AppDV adds easy-to-use application-specific control to the HP TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and provides organisations with an easy to manage, integrated solution that protects the network and applications from security attacks while also controlling usage of applications.
HP ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System
- Latest line of next-generation HP ProLiant servers, provides a common modular architecture to deliver breakthrough scale, energy efficiency and performance featuring common modular architecture that can scale from one to thousands of nodes while increasing scalability and performance.
- As many as eight servers, or up to four servers with 12 graphic processing units (GPGPU) in a single four rack unit enclosure
- New products are the HP ProLiant s6500 chassis, the HP ProLiant SL390s G7 server and the HP ProLiant SL170s G6 server.
- Eight-fold increase in performance, delivering more than one teraflop providing up to one teraflop per unit of rack space to increase compute power for scientific rendering and modelling applications with the HP ProLiant SL390s G7 server.
HP POD-Works, the world’s first assembly line for rapid deployment of the HP Performance Optimised Datacenter (POD)
- With HP POD-Works, PODs can be assembled, tested and shipped in as little as six weeks, compared with one year or longer, to build a traditional brick-and-mortar data center. Available in 20 or 40-foot modules, the HP POD enables service providers and other clients with limited space to quickly expand their data centre capacity. HP PODs deliver 37 percent more efficiency and cost 45 percent less than a traditional brick-and-mortar data centre.
- Reduced data centre implementation time by up to 88 percent when compared to traditional build out processes.
- The HP POD stole centre stage in Barcelona. There was much discussion of customizing skins for your POD.
