HP Integrity server technology is always virtualized, always scalable, and always available—so you get the right outcome, at the right time, for the right price.


Simplified management and deployment lowers costs

Increased operating environment flexibility mitigates risks

With the Integrity rx3600 Server, you have the flexibility to deploy a high-performing standalone, clustered or distributed computing model. For example, you can place one server in each of your branch offices and manage every one of them remotely.

Powerful, integrated management tools, work with the Integrity rx3600 Server for faster, more efficient server deployment and reduced operational costs. These tools include the following:


» HP Systems Insight Manager
» HP Integrity Essentials
» Integrated Lights Out
» Global Workload Manager
» HP OpenView


You can manage your servers with the same tools you use to manage the rest of your infrastructure—from a single interface—promoting greater control and efficiency and an enhanced user/administrator experience.

The HP Integrity rx3600 Server enables you to run any of the following operating environments:


» HP-UX 11i v3 with Insight Dynamics-VSE
» Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for Intel® Itanium®-based systems
» Linux
» OpenVMS


It includes all of the management, availability, and security features you typically expect to find, allowing seamless integration and management for deployment and redeployment into a heterogeneous IT environment, and enabling you to choose the right operating environment for your workload. In addition, common HP Integrity and HP ProLiant technologies (including universal racks, accessories, and management tools) add to greater flexibility and return on IT.




Enhanced scalability delivers maximum power with minimum resources

The new HP zx2 Chipset fully unleashes the power of the Intel Itanium processor by:

  • Lowering memory latencies
  • Providing extensive reliability, availability, and serviceability features
  • Increasing memory and I/O subsystem scalability


This type of flexible capacity within the server—enabling increased, balanced performance across transactional and batch workloads as well as Java applications and technical computing workloads—lowers costs further because it reduces the need for additional servers.


Robust availability for every application, every user, every time

New technologies that increase the levels of system and application availability are integrated into the Integrity rx3600 Server. These include double chip spare—reducing memory errors 17-fold over previous servers—which enables the system to recover from two DRAM failures and will result in significantly fewer reboots from memory failures.

The Integrity rx3600 Server also features built-in error protection for the processor as well as dynamic processor resilience and de-allocation. In terms of security, robust security features such as authentication and authorization are built into all four operating environments.
