Product Brief

HP 9000 Servers

Designed to grow with current and future business needs, the HP 9000 D- Class SMP server is a low-cost solution that offers performance scalability and large expansion capability. HP's newest HP 9000 server family member provides four performance points, featuring up to 2-way SMP performance that rivals midrange servers. The D-Class server also offers two expan-sion models. With four initial performance points and two model ranges, the HP 9000 D-Class server supports both the PA-7100LC and PA-7200 HP Precision Architecture (PA-RISC) processors. The future will also bring support of the ultra high-performance 64-bit PA-8000 family of processors. With capability for a 6X performance scalability range, I/O and storage expandability- all within the same highly affordable system cabinet- the D-Class brings expandability and investment protection previously unseen in the low-end market.

Building on HP's strength and experience in server technology, the D- Class offers the performance of midrange servers but at entry-level prices. Scaling to 960 MB/s (peak capacity) processor bus, 320 MB/s I/O subsystem, 2-way SMP PA-RISC processors, and high-speed disk and networking cards, the new HP 9000 D-Class challenges the concept of an entry level platform.

Mission-Critical High Availability

In keeping with HP's tradition of quality and reliability, the HP 9000 D-Class server incorporates many high-availability features such as: auto restart and dealloca-tion of a failed CPU for SMP config-urations; remote management card with built-in modem; and hot plug disk drives allowing on-line replacement and addition of disk drives.

The robust HP-UX operating sys-tem features memory page deallo-cation to block out defective memory segments with single bit errors without the need to reboot. When coupled with the MC/ServiceGuard enterprise high availability solutions, HP's patent-ed Autoraid disk arrays, and HP's intelligent PowerTrust uninterrupt-ible power supplies, HP's D-Class server provides mission-critical availability.

In addition to enterprise class capabilities, HP-UX also provides a rich internet ready environment featuring services for e-mail, remote access, internet server function and client configuration services. With the addition of optional worldwide web service and browers solutions. The HP D-Class represents a powerful internet solution.

Enterprise-Class UNIX (r) at the Entry Level

HP's enterprise-class HP-UX operating system offers best-in-class, UNIX- based open systems client/server applications from the industry's premier software suppliers.

HP's strategic alliances with systems integrators and resellers ensure you are able to choose from the broadest spectrum of open business and technical solu-tions. Well over 10,000 applications are available for HP-UX.
