This white paper
details the performance characterization of the HP ProLiant DL580 G5 and the
BL680c G5 with 130W and 80W processors respectively. The surprise finding
is that the 80W processor is able to achieve very good results relative to its
130W counterpart. This paper shows details of the overall system power
consumption relative to the number of users supported. The end result is
that many data centers could benefit by deploying lower wattage processor
versions while achieving very good performance. |

The no-cost Citrix
PowerSmart Utility for Presentation Server (PowerSmart) is designed to reduce
the power consumption of a Citrix Presentation Server farm. During off-business
hours, PowerSmart intelligently focuses the farm’s workload on a few
Presentation Servers so that it can power off idle servers. PowerSmart
integrates seamlessly with HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) 2 technology to
automate the remote power management of Citrix Presentation Server farms
deployed on HP ProLiant servers. |
