Originally ‘pre-launched’ three weeks ago, the initial six models of ProLiant Generation 8, HP’s latest version of its x86-based servers, were officially unveiled this week, and are expected to ship later this month. The first set of products from the company’s Project Voyager initiative – $ 300 million investment, two years of R&D, and over 900 patents – these servers incorporate a number of new features and capabilities that are intended to ‘redefine the expectations and economics of the data center’, including tripling administrator productivity and delivering a return-on-investment in as little as five months.
