Key Features & Benefits
Balanced scaling with Smart CPU Caching technology
[show]
[hide]
- HP Smart CPU Caching technology improves CPU utilisation and performance – helping processors to remain focused on the task, with less interruption
- A highly expandable CPU, memory, and I/O capacity allow the efficient use of computing resources (with HP scalable design) and support up to 8 processors and 64 processor cores, as well as 128 DDR3 DIMM slots for a maximum memory of 2TB
Increase application uptime with self-healing resiliency

- Stay up and running with VM isolation, using the ‘poison-and-recover’ technology within the processor to isolate and contain bad data to specific applications or virtual machines (VMs)
- Enhance system resiliency in large x86 systems with a redundant system fabric. HP has incorporated link-level retry to retransmit data, to see to it the transmission is complete and without data integrity loss, and spare wire I/O providing redundant paths for data if a link becomes unavailable

- With a consolidation ratio of 197:1, consolidate multiple systems into a single server workhorse and reduce the number of systems that need to be managed and maintained
- Reduce, reclaim and extend the life of your datacentre with HP Thermal Logic technologies
- Aggressively respond with HP iLO3 (part of Insight Control) remote console management that operates 8x faster than the previous version
- Upgrade to 10-Gigabit networking on the DL980 G7 server with the cost-effective HP NC524SFP Dual Port 10GbE Module. This high-performance upgrade module combines the latest 10-Gigabit silicon and dual ports with connectivity to both copper and fibre-optic networks
- Achieve easy integration and management and reduce management complexity with familiar industry-leading ProLiant tools
Unleash the power of remote management
[show]

- HP Insight Control software is essential server management software that helps deploy servers quickly, proactively manage the health of virtual or physical servers, improve power consumption, and take complete remote control from almost anywhere.
- HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3) is a standard component of the HP ProLiant DL980 G7 server that facilitates server health and remote server manageability. Because it includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface, iLO 3 is independent of the host server and its operating system
- Insight Control helps you manage HP servers running Microsoft® Windows®, Linux, VMware, and integrate Insight Control with leading third-party enterprise management consoles, such as Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter Server
