HP ProLiant DL580 G7 Server Series

Advanced RAS features for business-critical applications

Quick reference card

Elevator pitch

With the emerging trend of business-critical workloads

moving to x86 environments, reliability, availability,

and serviceability (RAS) and manageability are

becoming critical considerations for enterprise

customers. Based on HP ProLiant 4P architecture,

and combined with latest Intel ® Xeon ® 7500 series

processors, the HP ProLiant DL580 G7 Server series

offers unprecedented reliability, scalability, flexibility, and

performance desired for complex IT environments,

cost-effectively and energy-efficiently. HP’s end-to-end

solution capability also frees the customer from IT worries,

thus allowing them to focus on their core business.

The opportunity— For CIOs in space-constrained

data centers or enterprises enabling virtualization and

consolidation, and other compute-intensive applications, the

DL580 G7 server provides an end-to-end server solution that

offers a comprehensive set of performance features.

Solution positioning

The DL580 G7 server delivers added value to the

following areas in business technology solutions:

•Data center transformation solutions

– Business continuity and availability

– Data center consolidation

– Energy and space efficiency

•Information explosion

– Business continuity and availability

– Business intelligence

•Virtualization

What do I sell?

The DL580 G7 server includes:

•HP Insight Control, powered by iLO3

•Latest eight-core Intel Xeon 7500 series processors

•Up to 1 TB of expandable DDR3 memory for

four-socket expandable servers

•Up to 11 PCIe/PCI-X I/O expansion slots

•High-performance and cost-effective upgrade to

10-Gigabit networking

•FBWC enables indefinite data retention [versus

two-day data retention of a battery-backed write

cache (BBWC)].

•Common-slot power supply with commonality across

ProLiant, Integrity, StorageWorks, and ProCurve

•Trusted platform module (TPM) for security

•Internal drive support for SAS/SATA/SSD up to 4 TB

HP value proposition

and differentiation

The DL580 G7 server allows customers to expand

their IT infrastructure without compromising

on performance and reliability. It also has

comprehensive built-in performance, scalability,

reliability, and manageability features to enable

virtualization and consolidation. The main

differentiators include:

•Advanced reliability and availability: Has

brand-new reliability and availability features

like flash-backed write cache (FBWC), redundant

power supplies and fans, and Intel Machine Check

Architecture (MCA).

•Outstanding performance and scalability:

Equipped with DDR3 memory expandable to 1 TB,

high performance 10 GbE networking upgrade

option, advanced I/O slot configuration, Intel Xeon

7500 series processors that drive performance,

and scalability to new levels.

•Industry-leading management solution: Facilitates

server health and remote server manageability.

An intelligent microprocessor and a dedicated

network interface makes HP Integrated

Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3) independent of the host

server and operating system.

Qualifying/Discovery questions

Q1: Are you looking for a virtualization-ready server?

Q2: Do you have a highly compute-intensive

environment where you want to deploy servers?

Q3: Are you looking for a system that can run

business-critical data center deployments?

Q4: Do you have a heterogeneous and complex IT

environment where reliability, security, and flexibility

are major concerns?

(If the answer is, yes, to one or all of the above

questions, then they are a good candidate for the

DL580 G7 server.)

Customer pain points and solution benefits

Pain point #1: Need business critical data center

deployment in space-constrained environment.

HP Solution: The DL580 G7 server is ideal for

space-constrained data centers and service

providers who need high reliability and availability.

This is possible because it has large internal storage

capacity, network and I/O expandability, in-built

availability and reliability features, and advanced

power management capabilities.

Pain point #2: Need to reduce IT spending due to

pressure from the economy.

HP Solution: The DL580 G7 server enables

virtualization and consolidation to increase the

utilization rate of the customers’ IT infrastructure.

The DL580 G7 server comes with advanced power

management capabilities and high density of the box,

which reduces power and space consumption, thereby

bringing down the cost further.

Pain point #3: Need to reduce complexity and

improve security while managing a heterogeneous

IT environment.

HP Solution: Virtualization does offer a host of

benefits; however, its rapid adoption can change the

natural order of the data center, and raise security

and manageability issues. The DL580 G7 server is

equipped with HP Insight Control and the latest iLO3,

which provides an environment which is easy to

manage. The Insight Control also allows customers to

create a reliable IT environment that is energy efficient,

possesses advanced remote management capabilities,

and proactive health management features. The box

also supports TPM. TPM is a hardware-based system

security feature that can securely store information,

such as passwords and encryption keys, that can be

used to authenticate the platform. It can also be used

to store platform measurements so that the platform

remains trustworthy.
