And HPE Proliant servers. To make you more familiar with the concepts of network physical servers and to get acquainted with the reputable vendors of network servers, we have prepared a number of blogs as a series, the different parts of which are as follows:

Part 1: Concepts

Part 2: HPE Proliant Servers Family, HPE Rack Servers

Part 3: HPE Tower Servers, HPE SimpliVity, HPE Nimble Storage dHCI

In this series of blogs you will come across a variety of terms, abbreviations, concepts, and technologies. We have tried to explain the general concepts and terms as much as possible in the first part of this series. In the following sections, we assume that you have read first part and therefore we will not re-explain these concepts and terms in the following sections.

Last note, in preparing this blog, we have tried to use the documents and content available on the official website of the manufacturer of HPE servers, namely the website hpe.com. All information is based on the contents of this website.


 

 

Part 2: HPE Proliant Servers Family, HPE Rack Servers

 

ITperfection, hp servers, hpe servers, HP Proliant Servers Family

ProLiant is a brand of server computers that marketed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. After Compaq merged with HP. These servers offer many advanced server features such as redundant power supplies, iLO, Hot-swap components and up to 8-Socket systems. There are two product line for this family:

  • Modular Line (ML): These models are tower-based.
  • Scalable Line (SL): These models are rack-based, and they are mostly used in data centers and environments where a maximum of computing power is desired.
  • Blade Line (BL): These models are enclosure-based. They are made especially for use in a blade enclosure and cannot be used without such.
  • MicroServer: This line of products are entry-level, low power, compact, and affordable servers meant for small business, home office, or edge computing.
  • Density Line (DL): DL server models are rack-based. This product line has 10 version. Latest version includes these models: DL20, DL160, DL180, DL325, DL360, DL380, DL385, DL560, and DL580.

Models with a ‘0’ in the last digit use Intel processors while models with a ‘5’ in the last digit use AMD processors.

ProLiant servers are also split into several series which denote processor configuration.

  • The 100, 200, 300 and 400 series comprise single and dual socket capable systems.
  • The 500 and 600 series comprise quad socket capable systems.
  • The 700 and 900 series comprise eight socket capable systems.
  • The 900 series supports up to 80 CPU cores and up to 4 TB of RAM.
