In early 2006, Hewlett-Packard (HP) introduced a new chipset, known as sx2000, to its midrange and high-end cell-based Integrity severs. Many customers first focused on the increased performance of the updated cell boards and the support for Intel's Dual-Core Itanium 2 processors. However, the sx2000-based servers offer far more than impressive performance, they also deliver the enhanced availability so critical for enterprise computing. This paper explores some of the reliability and availability features of HP's Integrity servers, highlighting the HP architectural differentiation that helps IT organizations deliver mission-critical computing.
