HP Designs New Server for ‘extreme’ Scale-out Computing – PC World

The servers also omit features that HP says often aren’t required by large Internet companies, such as redundant power supplies and advanced management software. “In many cases these companies own the software stack themselves and have the high-availability and management features they need, so they don’t need it in the underlying hardware,” said Christine Martino, general manager of HP’s Scalable Computing and Infrastructure group.

The result, according to HP, is a server that consumes 28 percent less power and weighs almost a third less than a “standard” rackmount server. That could mean significant savings in shipping and energy costs for companies that purchase servers by the thousands, Martino said.
