Business Drivers
HP ProLiant SL390s Resolution
Massive scalability
Built on the HP SL6500 chassis, it is purpose-built to provide a
scalable infrastructure for HPC.
Increase performance without
increased operating costs
Compared to quad-core CPUs, HP ProLiant SL390s servers with NVIDIA
Tesla M2070 GPUs deliver equivalent performance at 1/20th the
power consumption and 1/10th the cost
Centralized management
Use HP Cluster Management Utility (CMU) to manage clusters of HP
SL390 systems all from a single, centralized console
Achieve more and better
computing for less
These ultra high-density servers offer capabilities that enable HPC
users to resolve bigger problems at an affordable price
