The ProLiant DL580 G4 server is an enterprise class, 4 socket server designed for maximum scalability and high availability. Its innovative chassis offers unsurpassed flexibility and serviceability in a versatile, rack-optimized form factor.
Based upon the latest industry standard processing, memory, I/O and networking technologies, the ProLiant DL580 G4 provides the highest levels of performance demanded by today's compute intensive applications. Unparalleled high availability features, including front-accessible Hot Plug RAID Memory, and hot-plug redundant components, guarantee maximum uptime. Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) technology allows remote administration from a standard web-browser without ever having to visit the server. Within the 4U dense form factor, it's highly expandable architecture provides maximum application deployment flexibility with the ability to add PCI-Express, hot plug PCI-X or battery-backed write cache options. Innovative features, such as the ability to access processors, memory, hard drives, and power supplies while the unit remains secured in the rack, enable rapid response to service events, radically decreasing overall IT costs and server downtime.
