New ProLiant DL360 / DL380 G7

#Chri5# · 12 May 2010 at 12:43

They've just popped up in the HP Product Bulletin update.

Finally the new Xeon L5630 / L5640 in the top-end DLs :cool:

Quad GB LAN as standard now (the DL360 loses it's PS/2 ports to make space).

Nothing too exciting otherwise though.

(Did I really just put "exciting" in a post about a server?!)

just had a quote in for the Dl380 G5 nice 13k server on it's way!

was informed it was going to be another 10-30% extra for a g6.

eh? Damn it, just taken delivery of 2 x DL380 G6 High performance servers, can't believe my reseller didn't tell me about the G7!

They must be very new - when I checked on a distributor this morning, they didn't have any listed as SKUs, never mind stock.

ohhhh crap if i had known it was that close i wouldn't have bought the G6 we're awaiting delivery of!

Personally I quite like the look of the DL385 G7's. Dual 12-core AMD CPUs

Which disti did you speak to? Or if you want to be vague, where are they based?

looking at getting one of these as our new Vsphere server. Going for the dual 12-core CPU model

Milton Keynes, though I think their server team is based somewhere else.

Just down the road from me! If any of you guys purchase one I'd be happy to go and collect it for you

Serious question: Do you think running a rackmount server at home (need the redundancy for a lab // mini hosting (my stuff nobody elses)) i.e a DL380 G4 running VMWare 24/7 with 2 x Apache web servers // LAMP - would increase my electricity bill by much? its not maxed and only one PSU (I have a spare but that adds £££).

What do you guys think?

I think its rated at about 400w or so according to the HP calculator...

Didn't think they were actually available until August at the earliest........
