With its state-of-the-art design,the HP 9000 K-Class SMP Server is powerful and highly expandable, and it represents a robust symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) implementation. It offers unprecedented midrange performance and lasting value. The HP 9000 K-Class server is based on the latest HP Precision Architecture RISC (PA-RISC) technology, the PA-7200 processor, which features 64-bit instruction and data cache paths plus internal 64-bit floating point registers. The K-Class SMP server is board upgradable to future 64-bit ultra high-performance PA-8000 technology. The K-Class servers will offer a 10X performance range within its existing compact and affordable system cabinet. The true benefit of the sophisticated PA-7200 CPU design is the resulting simplicity of the K-Class system-level architecture. It is cost-effective, modular, easy to upgrade, and reliable, and it provides high commercial and technical performance. K-Class midrange servers provide unmatched performance, easy upgradability, and investment protection - now and in the future.

Key Features
Figure 1. HP 9000K-Class System View Performance Profile (see copy)
Built for Speed
The design of the HP 9000 K-Class server produces incredible system throughput performance. Key elements include the 960 MB/s peak processor-memory bus bandwidth, the all-new 288 MB/s capable multi-channel I/O sub-system, the standard high-speed 20 MB/s Fast/Wide Differential SCSI-2 disk channel, and optional high-speed networking capabilities such as FDDI, ATM, and Fibre Channel (available in the future).
Affordable Single-System Cabinet Design
The K-Class features ultra high-speed system throughput com-bined with multiple generations of advanced PA-RISC CPUs, all provided within a single-system cabinet solution. It can deliver a 10X performance range with present and future board upgrades. The K-Class server spans from the K100 entry-level configuration to the maximum performance and expanded configurability of the K420.
Enterprise-Class UNIX(R) Environment
Complementing the superior K-Class architectural design, HP continues the tradition of provid-ing the most robust commercial operating environment. HP's HP-UX operating system, the enterprise-class UNIX operating environment, offers over 10,000 best-in-class client/ server applications from the industry's foremost software suppliers. In addition, HP's high availability, application development, distributed computing, and transaction monitoring software runs efficiently on the K-Class server, giving you the flexibility to precisely meet your business needs. HP's strategic alliances with systems integrators and resellers ensure that you have the widest choice of open business and technical solutions in the industry.

Enhanced Reliability and Availability
The K-Class server incorporates a number of features to enhance its already industry-leading system availability and reliability. In multi-CPU configurations, the server will automatically restart itself and deconfigure a failed CPU. The HP-UX operating system features memory page deallocation, which will automatically block out the portion of memory in which an error has been detected. Other standard features include an integrated, worldwide certified modem for remote management, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) control port, and an auto-speed cooling fan.
In addition to enhanced reliability and availability in the hardware and operating system, HP offers a full suite of system management, distributed computing, and support products that increase the K-Class server's flexibility.
Ultimate Upgradability
The single-system cabinet solution and the expansion breadth of the HP 9000 K-Class server translate into very easy upgrades and high investment protection. Ultimate ease and convenience is achieved with the K-Class server flagship K420 configuration option. Everything is "add and go." The HP 9000 K420 can achieve the full complement of CPUs, maximum memory expansion, and maximum I/O expansion without ever trading off one at the expense of another, as is commonly the case in other platforms.
HP-UX Internet Features
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 browser solutions, the HP K-Class represents a very powerful Internet solution.
