Slim and sleek, coupled with superior technical attributes, is the best way to describe Hewlett Packard's recently released ProLiant DL140 server. The company claims this is the first in a series of ProLiant 100 servers, and with a price tag starting at $1,299, the company hopes the server will appeal to the mid-market.
With office space and money at a premium nowadays, the days of spending money like water is long gone. Businesses now must examine every conceivable cost, even when it comes to purchasing a server. Besides the price tag, organizations must take into account the power a server consumes, the raw processing power it houses, and the space it occupies.
This server is a perfect fit for small to midsize businesses, which for example, do not have the luxury of office space or a large bank roll. The unit takes up little space, and taking advantage of the unit's size, companies can host their business out of a closet if necessary, eliminating the need for additional, high-cost office space.
As great as it is to hear about a server saving space with a very reasonable price point, the main reason a company acquires a server is processing power or performance.
The server is designed as a two-way server aimed at the high-performance technical computing market, rendering data, simulations that are not too graphic intensive; its talents are more on the processor computing side.
