The HP ProLiant DL320 G5 Server is an enterprise rack-optimized server at an entry level price. The highly manageable 1 processor, 1U server is ideal for single-application IT infrastructure, web and edge-of-network applications. The remote console and virtual KVM offered by the embedded iLO-2, coupled with the management features of SIM and deployment capabilities of SmartStart and other Proliant Essentials software, give the DL320 G5 enterprise-class management features. Support for 1 or 2 low-cost Serial ATA drives on an integrated RAID0/1 controller, with an optional upgrade to highly reliable hot-plug SAS hard drives, gives the DL320 G5 flexibility to meet the needs of your datacenter. Plus, you get the cost-effective solution of a single-processor platform with options from the new Intel Xeon processor 3000 sequence.
