HP has introduced its first HP ProLiant MicroServer at a very affordable price of Rs.25, 000, especially designed for small companies to enable them to confidently grow their businesses while taking advantage of the reliability, performance and security of a server and helps them to share and secure critical business information. 

At the centre of HP's new "Just Right IT" portfolio for micro and small businesses, the HP ProLiant MicroServer delivers affordability, energy and space-saving features.

The MicroServer is powered by an AMD Athlon II chip operating at 1.3GHz, supports up to 8GB of DDR3 memory via two memory slots.

"Small businesses have traditionally relied on interconnected PCs to share files and resources, which may not help them keep pace in today's competitive environment," said Rajesh Dhar, Director, Industry Standard Servers, HP Enterprise Business, HP India.
