Description
Gigabit Ethernet
Networking: Gigabit Ethernet refers to the network interface card (NIC) that is included in the HPE Proliant DL380 G5 server. This NIC is responsible for connecting the server to the network, and is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps).
Gigabit Ethernet is a faster version of the traditional Ethernet technology that is commonly used in local area networks (LANs). It uses a different signaling method and cable type (CAT5e or CAT6) to achieve faster speeds. This allows for faster data transfer and improved performance for applications that require high bandwidth such as streaming video, large file transfers, and online gaming.
The inclusion of Gigabit Ethernet in the HPE Proliant DL380 G5 server allows for faster communication between the server and other devices on the network, which can greatly improve the performance of the server and the overall network. The server can also use multiple NICs for load balancing, redundancy and better performance.
Compatibility and Expansion
Compatibility and expansion options refer to the ability of a server to work seamlessly with other hardware and software components, as well as the ability to add additional components to the server to increase its capabilities.
The HPE Proliant DL380 G5 server is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It also supports a variety of storage options, including SAS, SATA, and SSD drives. This allows for easy integration with existing infrastructure and flexible storage options to meet the needs of different workloads.
In terms of expansion options, the DL380 G5 server supports up to 16 DIMM slots, allowing for a maximum of 64GB of memory. It also has room for up to 8 hot-swappable SAS or SATA drives, and has room for additional PCI-Express cards, such as a network interface card (NIC) or a graphics processing unit (GPU). This means that the server can be easily upgraded as the needs of the organization change, without the need to replace the entire server.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency and power management refer to the ways in which a server, such as the HPE Proliant DL380 G5, is designed to minimize power consumption and reduce energy costs. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, such as:
- Power capping: This feature allows administrators to set a maximum power limit for the server, ensuring that it never consumes more energy than necessary.
- Energy-efficient processors: The E5345 Xeon quad-core processor used in the DL380 G5 is designed to consume less power than traditional processors, while still delivering high performance.
- Power-saving modes: The server can be configured to enter low-power modes when not in use, or when the workload is light.
- Smart power supply: The server’s power supply is designed to automatically adjust its power output based on the server’s current needs, further reducing energy consumption.
By implementing these and other power management features, the HPE Proliant DL380 G5 server can help reduce energy costs and minimize its environmental impact.
