HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System

Driven by business growth, scale-out computing is gaining momentum with businesses striving to build economics into their data centers. The all-new HP ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System is designed for such scale-out deployments. It comes with a highly flexible s6500 Chassis, which allows you to reduce overall IT cost and enhance power efficiency by adopting a shared power and cooling architecture.

The ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System is designed for service providers and high performance computing. It comes with a suite of pluggable server trays that fit into a standard 19-inch rack with front I/O cabling. The ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System offers a highly efficient, shared power and cooling infrastructure using efficient fans and power supplies. A unique cooling design with no midplane or I/O connectors facilitates unrestricted airflow for improved functioning of the server. The optional SL Advanced Power Manager allows you to manage energy at the rack level—helping you achieve significant cost savings in the long run.

Benefit from a highly flexible s6500 4U chassis

The all-new s6500 4U chassis can accommodate up to eight half-width 1U servers, four half-width 2U servers, or two half-width 4U servers, and gives you the ability to mix and match server nodes. It can also hold up to four full-width 1U servers. The s6500 chassis allows for single node serviceability (SNS)—making it extremely flexible. In other words, you can add or remove compute capacity based on your business needs.

The highly efficient multi-node chassis with shared power and cooling components, including energy efficient fans and optional hot-plug redundant PSU helps reduce power consumption to a large extent when compared to previous generation servers. You can also choose a “right-sized” power supply for a particular system configuration and operate higher up in the efficiency curve. HP Common Slot Platinum Power Supplies, a key element of the HP Thermal Logic technology, offers high-efficiency power options in two outputs: 750 W and 1200 W.

This flexibility allows users to right-size a power supply for specific server configurations or workloads, and helps reduce power wastage, increase energy savings, and do away with trapped power capacity within your data center. What’s more, simplified management and remote monitoring for each server makes the ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System an ideal choice.
