Delivering Reliability, Resiliency, and Repairability

architectural differentiation that helps IT organisations deliver mission-critical computing

As reliable computing has become a crucial foundation for many businesses, IT managers strive to implement robust computing infrastructures that enable them to achieve the service-level objectives (SLOs) required by their business processes. Although the specific objectives will differ by industry and firm, what is clear, from numerous surveys, is that business continuity and availability are “top of mind” to IT executives and managers.

In early 2006, Hewlett-Packard (HP) introduced a new chipset, known as sx2000, to its midrange and high-end cell-based Integrity severs. HP has long recognised that enterprise-class servers should not only deliver high performance but must also provide the single-system high availability that customers demand for their business-critical computing.

Since its introduction, HP’s Integrity server product line has offered high performing, efficiently managed systems designed specifically to meet IT management’s requirements for business-critical computing. In creating the sx2000 generation of Integrity servers, HP thoroughly re-examined each functional area of its servers and incorporated new technologies and designs to insure best in class, single-system availability.
