Strong application performance to meet your demanding business needs

With the introduction of the HP sx2000 Chipset, you'll gain even higher performance boosts from your PA-8900 processor through decreased memory latency and increased memory bandwidth.

Reduced costs, increased server utilization, ideally suited for consolidation

The high-end scalability—to 128 processor cores—of the HP 9000 Superdome with virtualization presents attractive server consolidation opportunities, significant cost savings, and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

The HP 9000 Superdome's flexibility in application and server consolidation is enhanced through HP's Virtual Server Environment (VSE), with hard and virtual partitioning capabilities providing you with the ability to consolidate multiple servers while having the flexibility to change in real time. This also means that you can accommodate both planned and unexpected growth in high-end compute loads.

High availability to keep your mission-critical applications up and running

To support your demanding workloads, the HP 9000 Superdome delivers extremely high availability through such features as electrically isolated hard partitions, redundant and hot-swappable fans and power supplies, the online addition and replacement of PCI-X I/O cards, and dynamic processor and memory de-allocation.

Rock-solid security, broad and deep functionality, and lasting value for future growth

The capabilities of the HP PA-8900-based family of servers are further bolstered by HP-UX 11i, the secure and robust UNIX operating environment that offers built-in binary, source, and data compatibilities—with Linux and Windows® interoperability.

Seamless upgrades without costly box swaps offers investment protection

The HP sx2000 Chipset is the same leading-edge technology used in the HP Integrity Superdome—offering easy, in-chassis upgrades to standards-based computing.

Automatic resource allocation, improved system usage, and simplified management

Consistent, intelligent management solutions-including HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and HP OpenView—enable you to further reduce complexity and increase efficiency. Proven workload management, high availability, and innovative server—virtualization capabilities—such as partitioning-are part of the HP-UX 11i VSE with HP-UX Workload Manager .
