HP: 21 New Platforms Planned

Hewlett-Packard plans to introduce 21 new platforms on the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 chips as part of the rollout of its ProLiant Gen9-based family through fiscal year 2015. The company is marrying the higher performance of the new processors to RESTful APIs, a modular architecture to increase configuration flexibility, and HP's OneView infrastructure management application for both physical resources and clouds.

HP also is tying the new ProLiant Gen9 servers to accelerated delivery services that include significantly faster provisioning, as well as a four-times boost in business outcome performance.
