The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen8 is a dual-socket, high-performance, dense rack server with enhanced manageability and scalability suited for High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, web serving and other hyperscale environments.



Unprecedented HPC and Hyperscale Capabilities in an Efficient Design

- Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors with up to 8 cores, 24MB cache, 8.0GT/s QPI (2 ports), 80 PCI lanes. 24 DIMM slots (speed up to 1600MT/s) and max memory footprint of 384GB;

- HP FlexibleLOM provides the ability to customize server networking today and the ability to meet future needs without overhauling server hardware. Provides choice of bandwidth (1G or 10G) and fabric (Ethernet, FCoE, InfiniBand), supports WOL, and provides a shared iLO port for ease of use;

- Support for high performance graphics cards. New smart storage generation of controllers and drives;

- Integrated Lifecycle Automation, an industry first, provides embedded provisioning tools, Active Health monitoring, and system maintenance capabilities standard on all ProLiant Gen8 servers and built using the industry-leading HP iLO Management Engine.



Industry Leading Management Solutions for Peace of Mind

- HP Active Health System provides 24x7 continuous health monitoring, 100% configuration change logging, and faster problem analysis with HP Service and Support;

- Insight Control 7.0 delivers several break-through enhancements in Deployment and Migration functionality, SIM for Health & Alerting, Insight Control power management and VMware and Microsoft integration;

- HP Insight Online is a new capability which provides one-stop, personal and secure portal for anywhere, anytime management. It allows you to monitor, manage and support your infrastructure remotely. It is seamlessly integrated into HP Support center and Insight Remote Support v7;

- Intelligent Provisioning takes strengths from products like SmartStart, Smart Update Manager, and ProLiant Support Packs, enhances them with the latest ease of use features and places them where you can use them instantly: on the system board;

- Agentless hardware monitoring and alerting capabilities are built into the server with HP Agentless Management (runs on iLO 4 chipset). Starts working the moment that a power cord and an Ethernet cable is connected to the server.



HP Support

- Global server support network to assist you with setup, installation and to provide reliable after sales support when you need it from a single point of contact. HP provides a broad choice of pre-configured, factory-integrated and tested cluster packages ideal for midrange technical computing.



Energy Efficiency Leadership

- ENERGY STAR qualified server configurations illustrate HP's continued commitment to helping customers conserve energy and save money;

- Industry first high efficiency HP Platinum Plus power supplies (460W, 750W) that communicate with an HP Intelligent PDU to automatically track servers as they are plugged in and insures that redundant power supplies are actually plugged into redundant PDUs;

- Right-sized ProLiant power supplies meet the exact needs, reclaiming lost data center power. Less oversubscription means more capacity opportunity. Be sure to use the HP Power Adviser for selecting the right size power supply;

- High efficiency processor options give the additional flexibility to minimize power requirement without compromising on performance;

- First 3D array of temperature sensors (part of our HP unique Thermal Discovery Services) that helps precisely control server fans to direct cooling, reducing unnecessary fan power.
