HP today announced HP Cloudline, a new family of compute platforms, a result of the HP-Foxconn joint venture. HP Cloudline systems are built on an open design philosophy using open components to increase adaptability and facilitate IT integration. HP Cloudline supports open management tools, such as OpenStack® technology, and leverages common industry interfaces, such as IPMI, in hardware and firmware. As a result, HP Cloudline easily integrates into a multi-vendor environment.
Purpose built for cloud-scale deployments, HP Cloudline servers meet the technical requirements, economics and functional performance needs of the growing service provider market, the company said in a press release. HP Cloudline servers are optimized for workloads including cloud (OpenStack and other open cloud platforms), web servers, content delivery, hosting and big data (Hadoop framework). HP Cloudline is also optimized for HP Helion. By adding the HP Helion Development Platform, developers can rapidly build and deploy cloud-native applications with a highly-scalable infrastructure that provides industry-standard programmability, ensures data persistency and durability, and offers built-in application resiliency.
The first generation of HP Cloudline rack servers are powered by the latest Intel® Xeon® processor E5 v3 series product family. The portfolio currently includes:
- CL7300 – A 2P server sled for memory and storage–rich compute applications.
- CL7100 – A 2P server sled for memory and storage–rich compute applications.
- CL2200 – A high-capacity, low-cost 2U 2P server for big data and storage-intensive cloud applications.
- CL2100 – A multipurpose 1U 2P server for memory and storage–rich compute applications.
- CL1100 – A low-cost 1U 2P server made to deliver efficient front-end web performance.
Pricing and availability
HP Cloudline rack servers are available only at rack-scale with the exact quantity dependent on the customer. The CL100, CL2100 and CL 2200 will be available for direct order on March 30, 2015. For details on ordering the CL7100 and CL7300, service providers may contact their HP account manager.
