HP new servers are designed for the cloud

This week HP have introduced a new range of hardware, software and services for large datacenters. his is know as the HP Extreme Scale-Out (ExSO) range and is designed to deliver massive scalability and savings to customers.

This new service is aimed at companies with datacenters that are 50,000 square feet and higher, for architectures such as cloud computing, web 2.0 and high performance computing.

This new architecture will save datacenter providers capital and operational expenditures, the new architecture saves up to 31% on weight compared to typical rack mounted servers.

Other characteristics of the ProLiant SL range include shared power and cooling to improve the gains that this skinless architecture provides, also the computer is put into a tray rather than a typical rack mount chassis.

The servers are due to start shipping in July.
