The continuous operation of your enterprise is enhanced by the Integrity Superdome’s broad and deep high availability features that mitigate hardware outages so you can keep your revenue streams flowing.
The Integrity Superdome is built with:
State-of-the-art technologies include Double Chip Sparing (which immediately restores chip-spare protection after a DRAM has failed, shielding against the vast majority of memory failures) and link retries (which recovers from any link failure without loss of performance).
The Integrity Superdome can be divided into hard partitions providing electrical isolation between environments so that a fault in one environment does not affect another. This feature enables servicing on one partition without having to take the entire server down.
Powered by Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® processors at 1.6 GHz, the HP Integrity Superdome is designed to handle your enterprise’s most demanding mission-critical workloads and grow with your business.
The Integrity Superdome’s performance and capacity are further enhanced by the HP Super-Scalable Processor Chipset sx2000 (PDF, 104 KB) which provides high levels of scalability, reliability and manageability.
The Insight Dynamics-VSE provides flexible capacity that helps you optimise server utilisation in real time. The VSE uses industry-leading integration of intelligent control with partitioning, high availability (such as HP Serviceguard) and utility pricing, letting you create a pool of virtual servers that can grow or shrink based on your business priorities. To enhance your consolidation initiatives, the Integrity Superdome supports the full HP Partitioning Continuum, including hard and soft partitions, HP Integrity Virtual Machines and HP Secure Resource Partitions.
So that you can easily deploy and redeploy a broad range of applications that are best suited for your business on the operating environment of your choice, the Integrity Superdome supports:
You can reach unparalleled levels of consolidation by running multiple operating systems simultaneously. Electrically isolated partitions also allow you to configure a 'cluster in a box' solution.
HP’s unified infrastructure management tools make the Integrity Superdome easier to deploy, maintain and manage – all from a single management tool. This reduces the burden of system administrators so you can redeploy resources to projects that will increase your business and competitive advantage. These management tools enhance resource utilisation and reduce complexity.
Additionally, Integrity Superdome’s tight integration with HP StorageWorks’ industry-leading portfolio of network storage solutions makes it easier for your business to increase information availability and protect data.
