New HP ProLiant SL165z G6 server.
The HP ProLiant SL165z G6 server is part of a new family, HP ProLiant SL6000 -- optimized for scale-out customers. The HP ProLiant SL165z G6 server is a two-socket with 16 DDR2 DIMM sockets and support for a low profile x16 PCIe® Gen 1 slot. The HP ProLiant SL165z G6 is optimized for applications needing large amounts of memory. This new server helps to reduce costs, and maximize power efficiency, by sharing power supplies and fans, while maintaining total flexibility. Two independent HP ProLiant SL165z G6 servers go into the 2U HP ProLiant z6000 G6 chassis.

Filter manufacturer cuts power use with virtualized server and storage infrastructure.
A.L. Filter, an Israeli-based filter manufacturer, was expanding internationally but its disparate IT infrastructure lacked capacity and was expensive to run. The company also needed a business continuity solution. Supported by Dell Certified Partner Omnitech, A.L. Filter deployed DellT PowerEdgeT R805 servers with Quad-Core AMD OpteronT processors and switched to a virtualized, consolidated and simplified infrastructure, which included a disaster recovery facility. The updated infrastructure helped A.L. Filter cut its power use, while providing virtualized server and storage capabilities.

German manufacturer cuts server footprint with new datacentre.
Metabo, a German tool manufacturer, needed reliable and scalable technology in its datacentres. The company's existing servers and storage were old, unreliable and difficult to administer - with capacity limitations. Dell worked with Metabo's IT team to build a simplified data center based on DellT PowerEdgeT blade servers with VMware and Dell EqualLogic storage. The resulting infrastructure helped Metabo cut its server footprint dramatically.

Cluster computing helps researchers thrive.
Since it was installed July 21, 2009, researchers have placed a near-constant demand on the Coates cluster, with maximal system utilization. Current projects being run on Coates include gene sequencing analysis, nanotechnology circuit design, biological study of virus structures, molecular dynamics in chemistry, and structure simulations for civil engineering. The design chosen for Purdue's new "Coates" community cluster is based on HP ProLiant DL165 rack servers and AMD OpteronT processors. The new cluster is currently the world's largest entirely academic 10 Gigabit Ethernet cluster and has an estimated peak performance of 90 teraflops, offering high performance computing support for faculty from a variety of disciplines and research groups within Purdue and as part of the National Science Foundation's TeraGrid.
