Connect Computers With Ease Using an HP ProLiant DL380 G7 Server

Different types of organizations and individuals can make use of servers as a way of quickly and easily improving their processing power and exchanging data. When a single computer just won't cut it, get everyone on board through the use of an HP ProLiant DL380 G7 server. Loaded with power, extremely flexible, and masterfully crafted, it's available on eBay and it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.

The technical specs of an HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 7 server will vary based on the exact model you buy, so be sure to read the eBay listings carefully. In general, a server made by HP that has not been modified or altered should have some of these standard specifications between models:

• Processor: The Generation 7 comes with either a six-core or quad-core processor from the Intel Xeon line of products. These servers are able to be upgraded to have a maximum of two processors with 12 cores.
• Memory: These servers have up to either 12MB or 8MB of SRAM depending on whether their processor is part of the 5600 or 5500 series, respectively.
• Chipset: These servers contain an Intel 5520 chipset in all models.
• Storage: Generation 7 servers have a maximum internal storage space ranging from 6.4TB to 24.0TB.
• Graphics: ProLiant DL380 servers utilise an integrated ATI ES1000, 64MB graphics card operating at either 16-bit or 32-bit colour, with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 or 1280x1024 respectively.

Like any computer, the HP ProLiant DL380 G7 server has a number of security measures to keep both itself and any client computers safe from tampering. Some of these include:

• Passwords: The ProLiant DL380 has both a power-on and keyboard password, making for two layers of security before anyone can even interact with the data stored there. There is also an admin password required to access the main account of the server, adding further security to your files.
• QuickLock: The QuickLock feature will turn off the keyboard attached to the server when Ctrl+Alt+L is typed, making it unusable unless the power-on password is entered.
• Network server mode: When this option is activated, the server will run as normal but a user will be unable to use the keyboard unless the power-on password is entered.

There is no limit to the kind of data you can store on this type of server. So long as there is space available, you should not have any issue using it as a storage device.
