Server Overview

The HP 9000 Superdome delivers the highest levels of availability, performance density, memory scalability, and investment protection, along with 64-bit UNIX® capabilities via the robust HP-UX 11i operating environment. Powered by the PA-8900 processor and enhanced by the HP sx2000 Super-Scalable Chipset, this system offers hard and soft partitioning capabilities while scaling to 128 processor cores. It also delivers enhanced reliability/availability/serviceability features along with simplified management.

Plus, the HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) combined with HP-UX 11i provides virtualization capabilities that let you create a pool of virtual servers that can grow or shrink based on your business priorities. These attributes offer the twin benefits of enhanced consolidation opportunities and reduced IT complexity.

 

As with all HP 9000 servers, the Superdome is an ideal steppingstone to HP Integrity servers based on the Intel® Itanium® 2 processor. When you're ready to transition, the HP 9000 Superdome chassis can be upgraded with Intel Itanium processors simply by swapping cell boards. The PA-8900 processor can coexist with Intel Itanium processors in the same cabinet, in separate partitions. This capability lets you test and migrate all or a portion of your infrastructure to a standards-based architecture, enabling you to continue to enjoy the world-class investment protection of your HP 9000 server as you move to the HP Integrity platform-at an affordable, incremental cost.

HP 9000 Superdome Server provides choices with several different configurations from 4-way multiprocessing all the way to 128 processors. With up to 128 CPUs, 2 TB of memory, 16 hard partitions and 32 GB/s of I/O bandwidth, Superdome is the solution to support customer business and technical needs, and scale with them as the business grows. In addition, Superdome provides unprecedented investment protection through in-box upgrades.
