HP Integrity server technology is always virtualised, always scalable and always available – so you get the right outcome, at the right time, for the right price.
The HP Integrity rx6600 Server’s large memory capacity, generous internal storage, flexible I/O and comprehensive virtualisation offerings combine to offer outstanding consolidation opportunities. This, in turn, leads to dramatic cost savings in terms of licensing and data centre space, along with increased resource utilisation.
Powerful integrated management tools work with the Integrity rx6600 Server for faster, more efficient server deployment that further reduces operational costs. These tools include:
You can manage your servers with the same tools as the rest of your infrastructure, promoting greater control and efficiency as well as an enhanced experience for both the user and the administrator.
As part of HP’s commitment to flexibility, the HP Integrity rx6600 Server can run the following operating environments:
The HP Integrity rx6600 Server includes all the management, availability and security features you typically expect to find when running these environments, allowing seamless integration and management for deployment and redeployment into a heterogeneous IT environment and enabling you to choose the right operating environment for the task at hand.
In addition, the convergence of HP Integrity and HP ProLiant technologies in areas such as system deployment and management add to greater flexibility and a better return on IT.
The insights HP has gained as a co-developer, with Intel, of the Intel® Itanium® processor have produced substantial system performance gains through the development of the HP zx2 Chipset. Invented by HP, this chipset fully unleashes the power of the Intel Itanium processor by lowering memory latencies; providing extensive reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features; and increasing memory and I/O subsystem scalability. This type of scalability within the server enables a more balanced performance across transactional and batch workloads.
The large internal disk capacity gives you flexibility in storage options. You can use internal storage for a self-contained database that delivers the advantages of managing internal storage through server management tools and requires fewer devices. This solution adds up to a cost-effective 'database-in-a-box'. When you use it with HP Integrity Virtual Machines, the savings that can be realised through workload and server consolidation are immense, along with the resulting improvements in resource utilisation.
You can also extend your system to incorporate HP StorageWorks’ industry-leading portfolio of network storage solutions that makes it easy for you to increase information availability while radically cutting costs.
New technologies that increase the levels of system and application availability are integrated within the HP Integrity rx6600 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 HP Integrity rx6600 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 authorisation are built into all four operating environments.
