Hewlett Packard Enterprise uses the SpiceWorld 2018 conference to present cloud solutions aimed at SMBs-- the Gen10 ProLiant ML30 tower and DL20 rack server, both designed for use in hybrid cloud applications.
Described by the company as "Wireless Office in a Box" solutions, the two systems carry Intel processors, and run on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard with Remote Desktop Services and 5 hybrid applications with built-in applications to the Microsoft Azure cloud. The applications handle hybrid file and backup, hybrid web hosting, hybrid virtualisation, hybrid development and test, and hybrid database functionality.
HPE offers a range of Intel processor options, including Pentium, Core and Xeon. Management enhancements include HPE Lights Out software with "Silicon Root of Trust" technology. The ML30 carries up to 64GB RAM and a choice of either x4 large form factor or x8 small form factor HDDs, while the DL20 offers HDD, SSD or M.2 NVMe storage in a 1U chassis.
Also included in the systems is HPE Rapid Setup, a piece of software promising to chop system installation and configuration times from 5 hours to 90 minutes. Networking comes via Aruba hardware and wifi access points, with the ML30 shipping with a 24-port switch (one half 1 gigabit, the other PoE) and two OfficeConnect OC20 access points with mobile app and web portal support. The DL20 includes a 48-port PoE switch and two Aruba 303 enterprise access points.
“We are making it easier than ever for smaller businesses to adopt contemporary IT to support various needs and improve services and profitability,” HPE says. “By empowering SMBs with hybrid cloud solutions designed specifically for their workloads, we are accelerating business outcomes and guaranteeing trust in our flexible and reliable products.”
