The technology moves ahead but it&#8217;s pretty easy to understand where the various models sit in the range because of HP&#8217;s product naming system.<\/p>\n<p>The basic principles have been the same for years &#8211; the &#8220;BMW&#8221; numbering scheme: 1 series, 3 series, 5 series and 7 series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-series servers are entry level servers, targetted at the SMB and High Performance Computing markets, typically with fewer enterprise features (e.g. hot plug components) on board.<\/li>\n<li>3-series servers include HP&#8217;s 1U DL360 &#8220;pizza box&#8221; server and the ever-popular DL380 with 2 sockets and a range of storage and connectivity options.<\/li>\n<li>5-series servers are the 4-way machines for high-end appllication workloads, with plenty of internal storage and connectivity capacity.<\/li>\n<li>The 7-series was discontinued for a while (as HP didn&#8217;t have an 8-way server) but, with increasing demands for powerful servers for consolidation\/virtualisation, it was re-introduced with a DL785 that competes with other manufacturers&#8217; servers such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/11\/sun-fire-x64-servers-maybe-worth-look.htm\">SunFire X4600<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The final digit is either a 0 (for an Intel server) or a 5 (for an AMD server).  DL servers are rack-mountable (D for density), with ML for tower\/freestanding servers, although some of these can also be converted to rack-mount.  Each ML server is numbered 10 lower than its DL equivalent &#8211; so an ML370 is equivalent to a DL380.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/09\/slicing-server-tco-with-hp-proliant.htm\">A couple of years ago, HP launched its c-class blades<\/a> and each blade server (prefixed with BL) was numbered as for the corresponding DL or ML server, but with 100 added to the model number &#8211; so a DL380 equivalent blade is a BL480c (c for c-class).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s a generation identifier (e.g. G5, G6).  Each generation represents a step forward architecturally (e.g. a move from Ultra 320 to serial-attached SCSI disks, or the adoption of Intel&#8217;s latest &#8220;Nehalem&#8221; processors).<\/p>\n<p>Once you know the system, it&#8217;s all pretty straightforward &#8211; and, as HP controls half the market for industry standard x64 servers, hopefully this blog post will be useful to someone who&#8217;s trying to get their head around it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and again, I seem to find myself looking at HP&#8217;s ProLiant range of industry standard servers.
