Scalability of bare-metal and virtualized HP ProLiant servers in x64 and x86 HP Server Based Computing environments
This updated white paper contains a historical summary of performance characterizations for HP ProLiant servers recommended for the HP Server Based Computing (HP SBC) environment, and includes the results for the recently announced ProLiant G7 Servers. The information in this document is ideally suited to IT professionals planning HP SBC deployments, and the performance metrics provided can help estimate the number of HP ProLiant servers required for Citrix XenApp in both “bare metal” and XenServer environments.
By using the test results and recommendations in this document, you can develop a plan to migrate your existing x86 servers to the ProLiant G7’s, and realize the benefits of the major advances in energy efficiency, virtualization, and best-in-class management. Compared to older x86 servers, HP ProLiant G7 servers enable significant consolidation ratios and corresponding reductions of power and cooling expenses, as well as reduced software licenses, which can make an investment in ProLiant G7 technology pay for itself in a matter of months.
