Performance
A single rack with nine HP ProLiant SL4500 server series can provide 1620 terabytes and 144 processor cores, requires just
18 cables, and consumes only 11.7 kW of power. In comparison, a traditional server and JBOD solution could provide
1296 terabytes and 96 processor cores, require 60 cables, and consume up to 15 kW.
Use cases
The flexible compute and storage mix that the ProLiantSL4500 server series offers lets you optimize the system for your
particular application and workload. Three increasingly popular Big Data applications and complimentary ProLiant solutions
include:
• OpenStack and the one-node, 60-drive ProLiant SL4500
• Microsoft Exchange and the two-node, 25-drive ProLiant SL4500
• Apache Hadoop and the three-node, 15-drive ProLiant SL4500
