HP server conference online — only 10 days to win 2 tablets

Recently, we thought - why not make an online conference on HP servers? Like the ones we regularly conduct live for our partners and customers. And they did, of course on Habré. What we got you can see here: special.habrahabr.ru/hp/o . And we even have a competition there where you can win one of the HP SlateBook x2 tablets!



We chose servers as the theme. Or rather, what to look for when choosing a server. Now, when the number of vendors on the Russian market has already exceeded a dozen, and the range and technical characteristics of servers look the same, the question of choosing a particular model has become difficult. At first glance, everyone offers the same form factors, processors, memory, configurations, interconnects, etc. And the only criterion by which the servers noticeably differ in the plates is the purchase price. But maybe it is worth looking not only at tablets with gigahertz and gigabytes?



We believe that you need to evaluate the server by several criteria at once. And in the foreground - the cost of owning a server throughout its life. Which on average has already passed for 5 years - and all this time the server will need to be serviced, investing your time and money.

In several short reports we told:



First, on the whole, about “iron” technologies in modern HP ProLIant servers and about the ecosystem - from whom to buy the server, who will help with the choice of who and how will maintain its efficiency.











Then that will help you spend as little time and effort as possible on server deployment and maintenance — that is, on management tools. Of course, our iLO technology is at the forefront here.











Then - to the correct calculation of the total cost of ownership of the server for the entire period of operation. And also about the possibilities of automating technical support (monitoring the condition of the equipment, monitoring the warranty, setting up service cases, etc.)









And finally, a story about the future of computing technology - The Machine project from HP. And two bonus videos.











In the coming days I will describe each report separately. In the meantime, you have only 10 days left to view these reports, answer all the questions of the competition and win one of the two remaining HP SlateBook x2 32GB tablets!
