We have already seen HP cater to mid-sized businesses at this year’s Global Partner Conference in Vegas, but small businesses have not been forgotten with the introduction of new HP ProLiant Gen9 Tower servers.
Expanding the company’s Compute portfolio, the servers are designed to provide small businesses on a budget the right balance of performance, efficiency and manageability to drive business outcomes.
The servers are designed to run general purpose workloads and essential applications such as IT infrastructure, collaboration, web and business applications.
The servers provide SMBs just enough processing, storage, memory and networking in a tower form factor. Embedded management capabilities with HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) help monitor the server health, power and thermal usage so customers can stay focused on managing and growing the business.
"Small businesses not only need to solve immediate business challenges, but also lay the groundwork for accelerating business growth," said, Peter Schrady, vice president and general manager, Rack and Tower Servers, HP.
"Together with HP ProLiant Gen9 servers and the services and support expertise from our channel partners, we can help small businesses enhance competitiveness and achieve better business outcomes."
The new servers include the entry-level HP ProLiant ML10 v2 and the HP ProLiant ML110 Gen9, which offers more memory, hard disk drives and I/O expansion than the entry-level server.
Base configuration pricing is expected to start at approximately $300 for the HP ProLiant ML10 v2 and $1,000 for the HP ProLiant ML110 Gen9.
