HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem

1 Enterprises today face a continuous struggle to reduceinfrastructure complexities, conserve valuable floorspace, meet ever-changing business needs, whilekeeping their businesses up and running uninterrupted24/7 with no downtime. Add to these requirementsthe concern of accelerating costs from powerconsumption to cooling to datacenter space. Businessesare seeking a flexible, high-performance server platformthat can provide a single solution to these new HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystemcan meet these needs. Combining the economies ofstandards-based, modular computing with the trusted24/7 fault-tolerant availability and data Integrity of theNonStop architecture, the new HP Integrity NonStopNB50000c BladeSystem doubles performance in halfthe footprint for lower per-transaction cost.

2 It deliversup to twice as much processing power per unit of floorspace within the same power envelope. Increasedmanageability also saves on administration a result, the NB50000c BladeSystem has a muchlower total cost of ownership (TCO). With excellentprice/performance, the NB50000c BladeSystem makes an ideal choice for businesses with massivetransaction volumes such as finance, healthcare, and NB50000c BladeSystem uses the HP BladeSystemc-Class enclosure and the HP Integrity server blade,powered by dual- core Intel Itanium processors, as theprocessing engine.

3 New NonStop Multi- core Architecture(NSMA) and NonStop Operating System release J06leverage powerful multi- core processing to achieve aThe HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystemdelivers a high-performance platform with the efficienciesof a standards-based bladed form factor to drive downcosts, while supporting more robust applications forbusiness growth. HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystemData sheetsignificant boost in performance. New standards-basedNonStop I/O infrastructure also improves response timeand throughput. Multi- core processing allows for both scale up and scaleout.

4 The NB50000c BladeSystem scale up providestwice as much processing power per logical processorat a lower per-transaction cost. As is typical with otherNonStop systems, the NonStop NB50000c scales outthrough built-in clustering of logical processors up to4,080 logical processors (8,160 cores). Improved TCO makes the NonStop NB50000c agood choice for migration of existing business-criticalapplications. Applications running on the previousgeneration of the NonStop platform can migrate fromexisting rack-mount servers to the NB50000c withminimal effort.

5 Migrating from earlier generation rack-mount systems will require replacing rack-mountprocessor components with a BladeSystem chassis andcomponents and installing the new NonStop J-seriesoperating system and NonStop J-series release addition, the NonStop NB50000c supports existingmodular I/O subsystem (IOAME, FCDM, FCSA, G4SA) thereby protecting existing customer features and benefits Enable fault tolerance and 24/7 availability usingcontinuously available software Patented NonStop process-pair technology toprovide instant software take-over in the event ofsoftware or hardware fault Improved middleware and NonStop operatingsystem enhances multiple failure fault tolerance,increases online manageability.

6 And eases upgrades Provide industry-leading data Integrity Leverages Intel s improvements in chip-level dataintegrity and also prevents data corruption end-to-end Build an ideal platform for Service-OrientedArchitecture (SOA) J-series OS supports multi- core processors greatlyimproving the computing capacity of the platformand extending the acknowledged linear scalabilityof NonStop systems to a new level The new NonStop Operating System J-seriesrelease supports standards-based middleware andcore Web services. This provides a strongfoundation for deploying SOA services on NonStopBlades to interoperate, both as a provider and as aconsumer, with other SOA services J-series OS supports SIM and other DistributedManagement Task Force (DMTF)

7 Manageabilitystandards making it possible for the NonStopBladeSystem to be managed under a unifiedmanagement structure Double the performance and improve response timeusing multi- core and storage subsystem technology Boosts performance by leveraging new multi-coreprocessor architecture Advanced caching technology (Write CacheEnabled) improves response time while maintainingtransactional integrity2 Figure 1.
