The Benefits of Using HP Integrity Servers to Consolidate HP 9000 Servers

Tags:
microprocessors

Overview HP has been shipping HP 9000 servers with PA-RISC microprocessors since about 1990. Since that time, nearly 100 different models of servers have been introduced ranging from single-CPU entry-level machines to enterprise-class Superdome models that support 128 cores. Today, thousands of companies worldwide rely on HP 9000 servers and the HP-UX operating system as key components of their IT infrastructure. Several years ago HP made a strategic decision to consolidate its high performance server product line by replacing servers based on PA-RISC and Alpha chips with HP Integrity servers (which are based on Intel's Itanium processor). HP's current plans are to continue selling HP 9000 systems until at least December 2008.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance.
