PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 18, 2014 - HP today announced the new HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 8 (Gen8) server and upcoming enhancements to the HP ProLiant DL560 and BL660c Gen8 servers for its scale-up x86 portfolio.

The overwhelming volume of information driven by the growth in mobility, cloud and social media is changing the way organizations do business. Organizations must deliver more transactions in less time at a lower cost, while leveraging big data analytics to turn information into insight. As a result, IT must change and scale to address the need for extremely fast business application performance and drive better business decisions.
The new generation of HP ProLiant scale-up x86 platforms delivers the optimal combination of compute performance, efficiency and reliability for business processing and complex data analytics.

The new HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 server, based on the Intel Xeon E7-8800/4800 v2 processor, offers the highest levels of performance and availability for demanding database workloads. Combined with unique HP ProLiant Gen8 innovations, the HP DL580 Gen8 server delivers:
Record-breaking performance, leveraging in-memory technology that accelerates business transactions up to 30 times faster.(2)
Efficiency improvements through infrastructure consolidation and intelligent management to provide a 45 percent reduction in total cost of ownership.(3)
Advanced system resiliency using HP Advanced Error Recovery for proactive fault isolation and HP Memory Quarantine for up to 30 percent greater memory and processor reliability.(4)
With the increased performance and higher memory capacity of HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 servers, we can provide our customers with cutting-edge solutions to dissolve big data bottlenecks, Christopher OMalley, chief executive officer, Velocidata.

Powered by the HP ProActive Insight architecture, HP ProLiant Gen8 servers continuously analyze thousands of system parameters to enhance application performance and proactively improve uptime.
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers take advantage of HP's Serviceguard for Linux, a high-availability clustering software, offering an industry-leading failover time that could be as low as four seconds.(5) These servers also feature HP Proactive Care, a flexible, comprehensive and cost-effective service that improves the availability and stability of industry-standard, converged, virtualized environments.
Today's news, along with future DragonHawk and NonStop on x86 solutions, demonstrate HP's commitment to provide customers with unparalleled choice to confidently support their critical applications.
Organizations demand extremely fast business application performance in order to keep up with today's hyper connected world, said Ric Lewis, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Server Business, HP. Two years ago, HP announced Project Odyssey to meet these challenges and redefine the future of mission-critical computing with a development roadmap that makes mission-critical on x86 a reality while furthering the company's investment in established mission-critical solutions. Today's announcement continues to build on this promise of dramatic performance improvements at substantial efficiencies.
The rapid growth of big data and analytics driven by the mobile, cloud and social megatrends is creating new opportunities for a mission critical compute infrastructure that can satisfy the stringent application performance requirements in a highly reliable, secure and efficient manner, said Matt Eastwood, group vice president and general manager, Enterprise Platform Group, IDC. The ideal platform would be one designed expressly for business applications and decision support workloads to address these needs.
