Feb 17, 2003 : HP Introduces New Server Technology

📅 February 17, 2003 - Computer systems maker HP (hp.com) announced on Monday that it has introduced two servers that it says provide remarkable improvements in performance and server availability, the new HP ProLiant DL740 and the second-generation HP ProLiant DL760.

Featuring the new HP F8 chipset, hot-plug RAID memory capabilities and HP ProLiant Management Essentials software, says HP, the servers are especially well suited to high-performance database use, business applications and IT consolidation projects.
HP says it currently leads the eight-way server market with 50.7 percent market share, and its servers continue to advance standards-based computing into the enterprise, delivering an excellent combination of 115,025 transactions per minute (tpmC) with a price/performance breakdown of $7.69/tpmC.
"Our new eight-way ProLiant servers provide a powerful platform to handle complex applications typically handled by more expensive, proprietary systems," said James Mouton, vice president, Platforms, HP Industry Standard Servers. "These additions to our ProLiant DL700 series offer new opportunities to migrate and consolidate applications to more powerful and cost-effective servers in highly available Windows- and Linux-based environments."
