January 22, 2015 at 10:49HP Server Online Conference - Just 10 Days to Win 2 Tablets
Recently, we thought - why not make an online conference on HP servers? Like the ones that we regularly conduct live for our partners and customers. And they did, of course, on Habré. What we got you can see here: special.habrahabr.ru/hp/o . And we even have a contest there where you can win one of the HP SlateBook x2 tablets!We chose servers as the theme. Or rather, what to look for when choosing a server. Now that the number of vendors in the Russian market has already greatly exceeded ten, and the assortment and technical characteristics of servers look the same, the question of choosing a specific model has become difficult. At first glance, everyone offers the same form factors, processors, memory, configurations, interconnect, etc. And the only criterion by which the servers differ markedly in the tablets is the purchase price. But maybe it's worth looking not only at the tablets with gigahertz and gigabytes?
We believe that you need to evaluate the server immediately according to several criteria. And in the foreground is the cost of owning a server throughout its life. Which on average has already exceeded 5 years - and all this time the server will need to be serviced by investing its time and money.
In a few short reports, we talked:
First, on the whole, about iron technologies in modern HP ProLIant servers and about the ecosystem - who can buy a server, who will help with the choice, who will support its operation and how.
about modern Intel Xeon processors - what can they and how do they differ
what models of HP ProLiant servers are there now, what are their features
how to find an HP partner with the right expertise, what level of technical support is available on HP servers in Russia and what partners themselves say about HP
Then about what will help you spend as little time and effort as possible on server deployment and maintenance - that is, on management tools. Of course, our iLO technology is at the forefront here.
