HP reveals the results of its joint venture with Foxconn-- the HP Cloudline portfolio of "basic, cost-focused and customisable" servers designed for "rack scale" and "cloud scale" deployments.
Optimised for Helion OpenStack, Cloudline servers support deliver, deployment and management at extreme scale and should fit easily in multi-vendor environments. Powering all are Intel "Haswell" Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors.
HP offers 3 Cloudline form factors-- Rack (fit regular 19-inch racks), Open Compute rack machines (compatible with the 21.5-inch Open Rack standard used by Facebook or the 19-inch Open Cloud Server chassis used by Microsoft) and a modular options fitting 4 server nodes in a 2U enclosure.
"Service providers must adjust to meet ever-increasing customer demands for simplicity, security and availability -- they can no longer compete on cost alone," HP says. "HP is delivering systems, built on open-design principles, combined with services and solutions that allow service providers to move fast, launch new services and grow their business in a sustainable way."
The HP Cloudline Servers will be available by end March 2015.
