AMD

McAfee

"Since its introduction in June, Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers have been demonstrating solid virtualization performance, with the AMD-based HP ProLiant DL785 G6 server posting a new top 48-core VMmark score and the HP ProLiant DL585 and BL685c holding top 24-core VMmark scores. Together, AMD and HP are helping data center customers achieve new levels of efficiency, consolidation and power savings, especially in the very dense cloud and web-serving environments ".

"Virtualization is being widely deployed in enterprise environments to reduce ownership costs, enable consolidation, and improve operational efficiencies. The latest additions to the HP BladeSystem family, the HP ProLiant G6 server blades and HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, enhance these virtualization benefits with increased memory capacity, power savings, and network consolidation such that enterprises can benefit from the full potential of virtualization technology. Combining McAfee Total Protection for Virtualization with the HP BladeSystem infrastructure extends security across virtual and physical environments and sets a new standard for securing virtualized infrastructures".
