IT company HP has announced a new family of servers, called ‘Cloudline’, for service providers in India. This will make company's data centers efficient and increase cloud service agility. 

 HP Cloudline servers support open management tools, such as OpenStack technology, and leverages common industry interfaces, such as IPMI, in hardware and firmware. Cloudline easily integrates into a multi-vendor environment.

HP is committed to open initiatives through collaboration with various eco-system partners. With HP Cloudline, HP is further extending its open infrastructure vision from cloud and network switches to include servers.

The server family, which is the result of the HP-Foxconn joint venture, enables service providers running hyperscale IT architectures to maximise data centre efficiency and increase cloud service agility.

Purpose built for cloud-scale deployments, HP Cloudline servers meet the technical requirements, economics and functional performance needs of the growing service provider market. The servers are optimised for workloads including cloud (OpenStack and other open cloud platforms), web servers, content delivery, hosting and big data (Hadoop framework).

The first generation of HP Cloudline rack servers are powered by the latest Intel Xeon processor E5 v3 series product family. The portfolio includes: CL7300 – a 2P server sled for memory and storage-rich compute applications; CL7100; CL2200 – a low-cost 2U 2P server for big data and storage-intensive cloud applications; CL2100 – a 1U 2P server; and a low-cost 1U 2P server CL1100. HP Cloudline rack servers are available only at rack-scale with the exact quantity dependent on the customer.
