New HP Integrity Systems to lower TCO

Embedded with Intel Itanium processor the integrity portfolio along with HP UX software

HP strengthened its mission-critical Converged Infrastructure portfolio with innovative

and enhanced HP Integrity systems, HP-UX software and services to triple

performance, boost resiliency and deliver investment protection for critical workloads

deployed into the next decade.

Based on HP enhancements and the Intel Itanium processor 9500 series,

transactions are processed up to three times faster than previous generations, while

using 21 percent less energy.(2) As a result, clients can realize a 33 percent savings in

total cost of ownership (TCO).(3)

With advancements in availability and reliability, HPs mission-critical Converged

Infrastructure

will

continue

enhance established HP Integrity

platforms

supporting HP-UX, HP NonStop and OpenVMS operating systems. Over time, these

advancements will cascade to mission-critical x86 platforms delivering a single, unified

infrastructure for UNIX, Microsoft Windows and Linux environments.

Our mission-critical clients face ever-increasing demands for uptime, performance and

security with their most critical applications, said Santanu Ghose, Director, Business

Critical Systems, HP India. Todays announcement demonstrates HPs continued

commitment to transform the server landscape with innovations to the Integrity

portfoliooffered within a mission-critical Converged Infrastructure that will endure into

the future.

These solutions offer the scalability, continuous availability and efficiency needed by

clients to achieve their mission-critical business goals and improve productivity. The

new offerings include:

A faster, more robust HP Superdome 2, with new blades and advancements

to HPs flagship server that provide high availability for mission-critical workloads;

Three new HP Integrity server blades for the HP BladeSystem c-Class

enclosure, providing unique workload flexibility with the industrys only electrically

isolated hard-partitioning capabilities;

A new entry-class HP Integrity server for branch offices or expanding

businesses that is ENERGY STAR certified for reduced energy use;

HP-UX advancements that deliver enhanced security and management to

speed threat detection and optimize resource utilization; and

New advisory workshop services, financing programs and cost assessment

tools to assist clients in optimizing their mission-critical environment.

HP Superdome 2 now offers a boost in scalability and performance with double the

number of cores.(4) Increased reliability also is achieved with enhancements that

provide built-in intelligence that enables proactive detection, analysis and repair of

errors.

HPs expanded portfolio also includes server blades that deliver improved resiliency

with

electrically isolated hard partitions that fully isolate workloads without compromising

data integrity. The new server blades utilize reduced powerup to 21 percent less

energy (2) with new low-voltage, dual in-line memory modules (DIMMS). They also

improve efficiency with the new 9500 series processors.

The new server blades include the HP IntegrityBL860c i4, which scales up to two

sockets; the HP Integrity BL870c i4, with up to four socket configurations; and

the HP Integrity BL890c i4, with up to eight sockets. Additionally, the ENERGY STAR

certified HP Integrity rx2800 i4 entry-level server improves energy efficiency.

Both lines of our business were experiencing phenomenal growth and struggling

to manage increased data traffic." said Heini Kalt, director, ICT Infrastructure &

Operations, Hotelplan Group. "We selected HP Integrity servers to ensure high system

availability because we needed the most reliable option to support the nearly ten-

fold increase in data volumes from holiday accommodation agents, travel agents and

internet-based customers. The HP Integrity server platform met our current needs,

while providing us the flexibility and scalability to protect our investment, making sure

our data centers are equipped for future needs."

Improve security with a new common log file that delivers up to 10 times faster threat

detection than previous generations;(5)

Simplify management with HP Capacity Advisors new analysis tool that identifies idle

and under- or over-utilized servers to increase server efficiency; and

Double the size of HP-UX workloads supported within the same data center footprint

with up to 256 cores per server.(6)

New service and programs align IT with business needs to lower risks

HP also has introduced the HP Platform Advisory Workshop to assist clients in planning

future mission-critical environments or transitioning from legacy servers to HP Integrity

with recommendations for optimization, migration and risk mitigation. Upon completion,

clients receive a customized blueprint of their organizations ideal transition path to the

newest HP Integrity systems.

Also new is an enhanced TCO Calculator to help mission-critical customers assess the TCO

for maintaining existing infrastructure and to help determine the cost to transition and support

newHP Integrity systems.

Flexible financing, leasing and trade-in options provided by HP Financial Services, the

companys leasing and life cycle asset management subsidiary, enable clients to transition from

legacy infrastructure to the newest HP Integrity systems with minimal upfront investment.

The first new HP Integrity systems, including the Superdome 2 server blades are currently

available.
