The HP ProLiant DL580 G5 is the best in class platform for virtualization, combining Intel’s new quad-core Xeon® processor technology, maximum scalability and high availability features. This 4 socket server offers unsurpassed flexibility and serviceability in a versatile, 4U, rack-optimized form factor. Based upon the latest industry standard processing, memory, I/O and networking technologies, the ProLiant DL580 G5 provides the highest levels of performance demanded by today's compute intensive applications. Unparalleled high availability features, including hot-plug redundant components, promotes maximum uptime. Remote management is made easy with Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) technology which allows remote administration from a standard web-browser without ever having to visit the server. It's highly expandable architecture provides maximum application deployment flexibility with the ability to add PCI-Express, 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.
