HP has enhanced its lineup of multi-processor-based server systems. Based on
the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 7300 series, these servers are designed
for customers running data-intensive business applications such as databases,
business intelligence, enterprise resource planning and large mail and messaging
platforms in virtualized environments.

The rack-based HP ProLiant DL580 G5 server and the HP ProLiant BL680c G5,
HP's first four-processor (4P) quad-core server blade, offer double the number
of processor cores in addition to double the memory capacity of its predecessor.

"HP has a long history of bringing innovative server platforms to market
on time," said Rajesh Dhar, Country Manager, Industry Standard Servers, HP
India. "These systems allow customers to meet their rapidly growing
virtualization and energy-efficiency needs."

The HP ProLiant DL580 G5 is ideal for virtualization and mission-critical
data center deployments. The BL680c G5 is part of the HP BladeSystem portfolio,
which was specifically designed for virtualization, energy-efficiency and ease
of deployment and management.

"Using Intel Xeon 7300 series quad-core processors, HP ProLiant servers
are delivering unprecedented performance and energy efficiency," said Tom
Kilroy, VP and GM, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation. "The new
four socket, quad-core Xeon processor systems will provide 16 cores that enable
HP to provide customers with superior levels of scalability, virtualization
performance and improve their ability to run mission-critical
applications."
