HP 9000 Superdome Server is first server to receive fault tolerant power certification
HP 9000 Superdome Server continues to demonstrate its mission-critical capabilities by becoming the first server to become fully certified by The Uptime Institute's Fault Tolerant Power
Compliance Certification Version 1.2. The certification verifies that all computer and communication hardware maintain full functionality through various power-testing manipulations. The HP 9000
Superdome Server qualified as fault tolerance power compliant based on requirements collectively developed by the 48 members of the Uptime Institute's Site Uptime Network®.
All configurations of the HP 9000 Superdome Server - 16-, 32-, 64-way and the IO expansion cabinet – successfully passed all twelve criteria required by The Uptime Institute for compliance
certification. The systems continued to operate without interruption or loss of functionality through all testing manipulations. The systems were monitored at the operating console and showed no
errors, hard or soft, during these tests. Certification was earned at the Tier IV level, the most fault tolerant classification.
"These results put the HP 9000 Superdome Server in the unique position of being the first server in the industry to be certified with the Uptime Institute stringent power requirements," said
Mark Hudson, worldwide marketing manager, HP's Business System and Technology Organization. "It also confirms that the HP 9000 Superdome Server meets the specifications developed by the Network
membership based on the needs of sophisticated data centers."
The Uptime Institute is a pioneer in creating and operating knowledge communities for improving uptime power management in data center facilities and information technology organizations.
Members of the Site Uptime Network represent Fortune 500 companies who collectively and interactively learn from each other as well as from Institute-sponsored meetings, tours, benchmarking, best
practices, uptime metrics, and abnormal incident collection and analysis. The Fault Tolerant Power Compliance Specification Version1.2, a list of all certified products, and the complete HP
