HP Integrity rx7640 Server —
key benefits

The HP Integrity rx7640 Server offers state-of-the-art features in balanced performance and capacity. Powered by new Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® processors—optimized by the HP sx2000 Chipset (PDF)—the Integrity rx7640 Server delivers the compute density and scalability necessary to meet the most demanding business needs.

High-availability technologies in the Integrity rx7640 Server guard your applications from unacceptable interruptions. The sx2000 Chipset (PDF) employs error-correcting and self-healing technologies throughout, which reduces customer outages.

Unique technologies include Double Chip Sparing, which immediately restores chip spare protection after a DRAM chip has failed—shielding against the vast majority of memory failures. In addition, the Integrity rx7640 Server provides link retries and reconfiguration on reboot, which allows the recovery from link failure.

Combined with other products in HP’s enterprise portfolio like the HP StorageWorks’ network storage solutions, the Integrity rx7640 Server makes it easier for your business to increase information availability and protect data while radically cutting costs.

The Integrity rx7640 Server offers the flexibility to easily deploy and redeploy a broad range of applications that are best suited for your business on the operating system of your choice:

You can even run multiple operating systems simultaneously on the same server. In addition, the convergence of system management technologies such as integrated Lights Out 2 (iLO2) adds to greater flexibility and a better return on IT.

Robust hard, soft, and sub-core partitioning capabilities enhance your consolidation initiatives.
With comprehensive server tools to provide excellent resource partitioning, increase resource utilization, and reduce complexity, the Integrity rx7640 Server frees up IT resources and staff to perform other mission-critical tasks.

The Integrity rx7640 Server supports enterprise-grade multi-port Gigabit Ethernet, SCSI, and Fibre Channel adapters as well as a variety of specialized PCI-X and PCI EXPRESS I/O cards for network, storage, high-performance, and legacy connectivity. Additionally, the Integrity rx7640 Server supports multifunction cards that offer both storage and network connectivity for high-density I/O.

Multiple generations of Intel Itanium processors can be mixed in the same HP Integrity rx7640 Server in different hard partitions, which means avoiding costly box swaps and delivering better return on your IT investment.
