Conclusion
HP Philosophy and Strategy
HP's approach to meet the needs of the data center is based first on solid system design
and manufacturing of all server components and subsystems. The most effective approach
to improving performance, availability and scalability is to keep faults from occurring in the
first place. HP's design philosophy for the 8-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system
was simple: lead in all areas of performance, scalability, manageability, availability and
reliability. The Profusion architecture is a uniquely balanced design where the performance
capabilities of the processors, cache, I/O subsystems and memory are matched. The
customer does not have to make tradeoffs between CPU and memory capacity or between
CPU and I/O capacity to achieve high performance.
The HP NetServer Family
HP has designed this new HP NetServer, the LXr 8500, to be optimized for the complex
and demanding technology environment of the mission-critical data center. This server is
8-way capable, meeting the performance, scalability, storage density, configuration and
high availability needs of the data center. The architecture, including the Intel Profusion
chipset, configuration and industrial design of this server has also been carefully
implemented. Finally, the server will also grow with the enterprise facility, able to be
upgraded in several key aspects.
The HP NetServer LXr 8500 is the highest performing server of the HP NetServer family of
products (see Figure 3). The HP NetServer LXr 8500 continues the HP NetServer tradition,
providing the outstanding performance for a server of its class, combined with lasting
investment protection, scalability, proven high availability and the best of service and
support in the industry.
