ProLiant is a brand of server computers that was originally developed and
marketed by Compaq. After Compaq merged into Hewlett-Packard (HP), HP
continued to develop and market these servers as HP ProLiant. ProLiant
systems lead the x86 server market in terms of units and revenue. [1]
ProLiant servers are separated into four main product lines - ML, DL, BL and
SL - which denote form factor. The ProLiant ML line comprises towerbased
servers with capacity for internal expansion of disks and interconnects,
the DL line comprises general purpose rack mount servers, the BL line
comprises blade servers which fit within the HP BladeSystem, and the SL
line comprises dense rack mount servers for scale out environments.
ProLiant servers are also split into several series which denote processor
configuration. The 100, 200, 300 and 400 series comprise single and dual
socket capable systems, the 500 and 600 series comprise quad socket
capable systems, and the 700 series comprises eight socket capable systems
. The new 900 series also include eight sockets, supporting up to 64 80 cores
and up to 2TB 4TB RAM. Models with 0 in the last digit use Intelprocessors;
models with 5 in the last digit use AMD processors. [2]
