Today, the demands of high-performance computing
(HPC) call for a server infrastructure with larger
memory and enhanced processing power without
compromising on reliability. In addition, the
infrastructure must be ready to tackle the increasing
load of Web 2.0 applications like cloud hosting. To
run at optimum efficiency on a tight budget – now
that is a tall order.
The HP ProLiant DL160 G6 Server fits the bill. It is
The HP ProLiant DL160 G6 Server fits the bill. It is
a high-performance, economical, ultra-dense rack
server node for memory-intensive HPC environments.
Designed for quality, performance and flexible
deployments that meet the needs of HPC, small and
medium business (SMB), and corporate scale-out
deployments, the ProLiant DL160 G6 Server is your

data centres.
Key features and benefits
Improved performance
The ProLiant DL160 G6 Server is an economical
2P server that cuts out unnecessary options,
making it ideal for budget-constrained and
scale-out environments and enabling cost-enhanced
memory solutions.

•
Increased memory
: If you run a memory-intensive
business, enhanced memory is your foremost
requirement. With the ProLiant DL160 G6 Server,
you get up to a 192 GB DDR3 system maximum
memory footprint.
•
SAS/SATA technology
: Capitalise on the SAS/
SATA technology that comes with HP Smart Array
controllers. They use 6-gigabit-per-second (Gb/s)
SAS technology. With SAS technology, Smart
Array controllers provide higher throughput,
increased performance and enhanced reliability.

Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) architecture
:
The QPI architecture integrates a memory
controller into each microprocessor and connects
processors and other components with a new
high-speed interconnect. This provides high-speed
connections between microprocessors and
external memory, and between microprocessors
and the I/O hub. In cases where a processor
needs to access the dedicated memory of another
processor, it can do so through a high-speed Intel
QPI that links all the processors.
•
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
: This
technology enhances performance, improves
business productivity and provides faster response
times. With the CPU made to act like multiple
CPUs, a number of transactions can be processed
simultaneously, which means faster response times
and thus better customer experience.
