1. HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers
The World’s Most
Self-Sufficient Servers

2. Making the Cloud Self-Sufficient
HP ProLiant Gen 8 servers extend HP's portfolio as part of
Project Voyager, HP's multiyear transformation plan for the
server market.
The new 4-socket ProLiant BL660c and
DL560 Gen8 servers are density-optimized
to deliver increased compute power in less
space.
The e-Series portfolio — the new 1-

ProLiant
Gen8 servers — are ideally suited for
entry level workloads.

4. Who needs self-sufficient
servers?
IT does, and for
several good reasons.
Most important:
manual server operations are
dragging IT down, making it
harder to implement private and
hybrid clouds.

5. Who needs self-sufficient
servers?
A recent HP study found:
manual operations

of server outages are
$24 million tied to human error
over three years
manual facility optimization unplanned downtime
drives up energy costs up costs clients about

automation that boosts productivity and saves

Security is paramount.
All logs are stored on the server and stay there, and only information
about system items are collected. You can also turn off any monitoring
at any time
via iLO. This keeps your cloud up and running – and keeps end users
satisfied.

9. HP Agentless Management
Outages and system issues are discovered
and mitigated faster with Agentless
Management.
Covered subsystems include:
IT no longer has to load and manage agents
so •there’s no performance impact.
CPUs
• Memory
Everything runs from and is embedded in iLO.
• Temperature Sensors
The system is continuously running
• Fans
diagnostics to minimize downtime.
• Power Supplies
• SmartArray controllers (including cache modules)
• Both Logical and Physical Drives (internal to the
server) that are connected to the SmartArray
controller.
HP’s iLO also supports Inventory and Configuration, Health
Status, SNMP Alerting, Pre-Failure Alerting, Redundancy
Status and Alerting, and SNMP Data Collection.
