HP ProLiant Generation 9 (Gen9)

On September 1, 2014 provided to HP a line of HP servers of ProLiant Generation 9 (Gen9). The innovative technologies used in new generation, the functionality and architecture optimized under specific workloads will allow clients to reduce costs, to accelerate providing IT services and to provide steady growth of business.

IT departments of the organizations daily should ensure effective operation of applications and services, to manage the growing amounts of data and to aim to cut down expenses. However often outdated architecture of DPC and the servers working in it become a barrier in the solution of these tasks. The new HP ProLiant models of the ninth generation will solve this problem. They differ in the highest indicators of flexibility, scalability, helping the owners to achieve effective objectives. The combination of HP servers of ProLiant Gen9 and services of HP of Technology Services helps the companies to use the most modern server technologies with the maximum return in practice to realize the concept of "IT new style" — New Style of IT.

HP servers of ProLiant Gen9 mark the beginning of a new round of evolution of server technologies of HP. They meet greatest demands made on servers. Models of the ninth generation are a part of a powerful pool of computing resources which can be selected under any tasks, adapt to any loading and to be available at any time. Besides, servers are optimized for work in convergent infrastructure, cloud and software-defined environments and also offer the impressive list of innovations:

• PCIe accelerators, memory of HP of DDR4 SmartMemory, HP SmartCache technology and FlexFabric HP adapters for performance improvement;
• Convergent control of servers, DWH and network resources for creation of the software-defined environment;
• Faster installation, monitoring and updating of firmwares thanks to the built-in innovative technologies of management, including UEFI and RESTful API for hybrid cloud environments;

"Distribution of cloud and mobile solutions, social networks and Big Data led to increase in requirements imposed to DPC and, in particular, to its principal component — to servers — Antonio Neri, the senior vice president and the head of department of HP of Servers & Networking said. — HP stood at the origins of the market of servers of x86 25 years ago. Since then we remain undisputed leaders in this area. HP is the author of a number of innovations, for example HP Moonshot and HP Apollo which radically changed our idea of opportunities of DPC. Today we open the new page in the history of these platforms. HP servers of ProLiant Gen9 combine in themselves the best qualities of traditional and cloud environments, being a fine basis for software-defined DPC".

Servers in a line of HP of ProLiant Gen9 are created taking into account requirements of modern loadings, such as providing mobile services to employees and clients, conversion of behavioural these clients to evident analytics and response to new business opportunities in real time.

Models of HP ProLiant Gen9 are offered in the form of blades, in rack execution, in the pedestal body and in superscalable construct. They offer customers the following advantages:

• Three times higher computing power, increase in efficiency of processing of various loadings and the high level of automation at lower cost of ownership. (2)
• Acceleration of implementation of IT services and preparation of infrastructure up to 66 times when using functions of convergent management of HP OneView (will be available this year). (3)
• Performance improvement of business applications to four times thanks to unique innovations of HP in technologies of storage, memory and network. (4)

"New HP servers allow us to process millions of transactions a day, to unroll servers in the virtualized environments for read seconds and to provide applications in minutes — Harry Gunsallus, the executive vice president and the director of information technology, Redstone Federal Credit Union says. — We could reduce a development cycle and deployments of mobile software on average by 30% up to 90 days and to increase the profit of Redstone Consulting Group LLC, our consulting division, by 50% in comparison with the previous year".
