Conclusion

As the first processor based on the Intel Itanium architecture with the capability of becoming truly pervasive, the
Intel Itanium 2 processor is faster and more capable than its predecessor. Now, in its Integrity rx2600, rx4640,
and rx5670 servers, HP offers a pair of powerful servers based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor and featuring the
new HP zx1 Chipset. The rx2600 server utilizes one or two Intel Itanium 2 processors and up to 24 gigabytes of
memory; the rx4640 can be equipped with as many as 4 processors and as much as 64 GB of memory; and the
rx5670 utilizes as many as 4 processors and as much as 96 GB of memory. These servers offer cutting-edge, 64-
bit power along with excellent price/performance ratios.
The new servers are optimized for complex, floating-point-intensive computations, providing faster time to
solution for demanding applications. They are especially suited to SSL Web serving, and they offer significant
price/performance advantages over both IA-32- and RISC-based systems for Windows and database
applications. They're also perfect for running SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, and SAS business application suites.
The Intel Itanium 2 processor's ability to run IA-32 and RISC binaries without modification helps ensure protection
for previous software investments, and HP's porting services can effect a complete transition that takes full
advantage of the Itanium architecture. Another advantage is that customers with either of these servers can run
any of three industry-leading operating systems—HP-UX, Linux, or Windows. This multi-OS capability overcomes
the complexities and challenges associated with deploying and maintaining a heterogeneous operating
environment.
Whether for technical computing or commercial IT, the HP Integrity rx2600, rx4640 and rx5670 servers offer
superior power, scalability, and efficiency—with lower costs.
