Which Server?

[Wimgrandia]

We are a small firm that want to buy a new HP server.

We really want to make sure that this server is capable of hyper-v in Windows sbs 2008.

We are looking at the following models:

638328-421

743735-425

768638-421

768647-425

743490-421

Does anybody know which model is capable of doing so?

thanks!

Hi,

HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 Server
743735-425
768638-421
768647-425
743490-421

Refer to its QuickSpecs for Processor's HT compatibility.

HT indicates that the processor model supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (depends on the processor).

For Windows 2008 SBS compatibility with the server, do refer to this link.

From the above link if you see, DL320e Gen8 is supported with Windows 2008 Hyper-V when utilizing Service Pack 2 ONLY.

I guess Windows Small Business Server or SBS is renamed to Windows Server Essentials.

Thank You!
I am a HP employee

@Wimgrandia 

I agree with Suman_1978 that a ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 is a great option. You can customize this server with Service Pack 2, which will add support for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.

Here's a document that shows you how to implement Windows Server 2008 on ProLiant servers. I'm happy to connect you to one of our specialists who has more details on these products and can help you set up or configure your unit. Please let me know if there's anything else you need.
