Populated with 4TB SAS/SATA hard drives expected in early FY2013, SL4500 servers can provide up to 240TB of storage capacity. Nine SL4500 servers in a 42U rack can provide a maximum storage capacity of 2.16PB.
HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 Servers are offered with a choice of three compute nodes featuring the Intel Xeon E5-2400 Processor Family.
- One-node configuration with 60 drives, for applications such as object storage requiring large storage capacity.
- Two-node configuration with 25 drives per node, for applications such as email and data analytics
- Three-node configuration with 15 drivers per node for parallel processing applications that require a balanced core-to-spindle ratio.
The HP ProLiant SL4500 server series supports multiple Apache Hadoop vendors including Cloudera and Hortonworks, as well as OpenStack Cloud Software and MongoDB.
