Is Big Data holding you back?
The cloud era has created an unprecedented explosion of data and digital information. A new shift
is happening in the IT industry. Not long ago, our access to information was primarily through
desktop and notebook computing and our access to cloud-based solutions was somewhat
limited. We are now utilizing many new types of connected client devices and using them to do
amazing things40,000 tweets, 158,000 apps downloaded, and more every 60 seconds.
1
Mega trends such as the cloud, Social Media, Big Data, and mobility are requiring enormous
growth of your server infrastructure in space, energy, and performance.
For many data centers, IT infrastructure and operations have reached a breaking point;
incremental improvements no longer work. Its time for a server that works smarter, so that
everything works better.
HP ProLiant serverthe worlds most intelligent server
Customer inspired, HP ProLiant Gen8 servers are unlike anything else on the market.
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers include more than 150 design innovations that allow administrators
to increase application performance and free up resources to focus on business innovation.
HP ProLiant Gen8 introduces HP-only and industry-frst innovations
2
that use embedded
intelligence to get rid of manual tasks and automate IT operations.
HP ProActive Insight architecture
Transforming the server experience
HP ProActive Insight architecture is the foundation on which every ProLiant Gen8 server is
built. It is a rich set of capabilities that help IT administrators boost application performance,
protect data, simplify server operations, optimize energy efciency, and streamline the
support experience.
Powered by the HP ProActive Insight Architecture, next-generation HP ProLiant servers
continuously analyze thousands of system parameters to enhance application performance
and proactively improve uptime. They provide insight into virtually every aspect of your
IT infrastructure.
