HP ProLiant DL160 G6 470065-512 Hoja De Datos

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 

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 

answer to achieving high efficiency, high density and 

high computing at an affordable price.
Now benefit from up to 192 GB of memory with 

16 GB DIMMs designed to hit the largest memory 

footprints, or use decreased cost and lower-density 

memory to achieve larger memory footprints 

than before. Achieve large, inexpensive memory 

configurations with 18 available DIMM slots.
The ProLiant DL160 G6 Server has the appropriate 

flexibility and scalability to meet the needs of a 

variety of computing tasks. Moreover, the 1U form 

factor allows better utilisation of server rack and 

data centre space, making it suitable for SMBs, 

growing businesses, Web 2.0 customers and large 
data centres.

Key features and benefits

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.
•

: 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.

•

: 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.

•

: 

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.

•

: 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.
