HP is launching four rack-mount servers for small and medium-sized businesses. The 1U HP ProLiant DL160 G5 and 2U ProLiant DL 180 G5 are sister products to the enterprise-level DL360 and the DL380, according to HP’s server and storage VP Paul Miller. These are Intel-powered boxes, with the accompanying DL165 G5 and DL185 G5 housing AMD chips.

According to HP, the servers include tools that guide users through system configuration for a fast installation.

The DL160 for small businesses costs from £699 (US$1400) and houses a pair of quad-Core 5400 sequence Xeon processors, up to 32GB of RAM, and an internal storage capacity of up to 3.0TB, with four 750GB hot-plug SATA, 3.5-inch drives. It includes two PCI-Express x16 2.0 slots and HP’s Lights Out 100i Advanced and Select remote management boards. HP said the management board enables users to manage entry-level ProLiant G5 servers remotely, install or update software over the Internet or the LAN, and monitor hardware health such as fan, temperature and power supplies.
