- Path: Linux on HP ProLiant
A new Linux-based HP ProLiant server can pay for itself in as little as six months.

“Blakemores Solicitors, a UK law firm, looked to HP to replace its existing IBM servers and Storage Area Network (SAN) in an effort to reduce space, lower power and cooling within its data centre, and reduce hardware maintenance costs. Blakemores chose an HP Converged Infrastructure solution including HP ProLiant DL380 servers with Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series, and an HP P4500 SAN, which helps the company increase IT speed and agility, shift resources from operations to innovation, and better align with the growing demands of the business.”
