HP Updates Integrity Systems with Latest Processor Technology and Software Enhancements

MALAYSIA, Kuala Lumpur, Nov. 9, 2007 – HP has refreshed its Integrity server lineup with the latest processor technology and new software to help customers reduce costs through enhanced automation and improved energy efficiency.

Enterprise customers with the most demanding computing environments can now reap advantages from new system software innovations in power and remote management across HP Integrity and Integrity NonStop server systems running HP-UX 11i, Microsoft Windows® Server, Linux and OpenVMS.

In addition, the Integrity systems family of servers and server blades are now powered by the latest Intel® Itanium® processor 9100 series, code named “Montvale.”

With these enhancements, NonStop systems can function as the heart of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) in the data center. SOA is an approach for managing computing environments that uses loosely coupled, reusable and standards-based services to address changing business needs. Customers can use an SOA implementation with Integrity NonStop alongside mainframes and banks of Linux machines so IT can act as a service to the business.

HP Integrity NonStop servers with Montvale processors also offer up to a 20 percent price/performance increase over previous generations of the systems.(1)

“HP is committed to providing enterprise customers with the most advanced, reliable and energy-efficient systems,” said Herbert Zwenger, vice president and general manager, Business Critical Systems, HP Asia Pacific and Japan. “By leveraging the latest in processor technology and ongoing enhancements and innovation in our software, HP provides customers with the balanced performance they need to power their most mission-critical workloads in real-world environments while still reducing costs.”

HP Integrity revenue grew 71 percent year over year in HP’s third fiscal quarter of 2007. Currently, more than 13,000 software applications from independent software developers run on the HP Integrity platform.

Power and remote management drive customer value

HP is extending its common remote management solution for BladeSystem, ProLiant servers and entry-class Integrity servers to now include HP Integrity cell-based servers. HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is now available for Integrity servers from blades all the way up to Superdome servers. HP has standardized on the iLO management processor’s graphical user interface for both ProLiant and Integrity servers, making it simple for customers to manage all of their HP servers with the same tools.

HP Integrity servers also are adding new server power monitoring and regulation capabilities with tools to allow customers to remotely monitor actual power consumption and thermal output on Integrity entry-class and blade servers.

Expanding the efficient power designs already available with HP Thermal Logic for HP Integrity servers, these new Integrity iLO 2 and HP Insight Power Manager tools enable customers to monitor and regulate server power and switch power states as needed. The result is reduced server power and cooling overhead across the data center.
