rp4440-8 Servers utilize the exclusive HP Scalable Processor Chipset zx1, which integrates the next-generation PA-RISC microprocessor, the PA-8900 processor, providing high-bandwidth and low-latency connections to memory and I/O. This white paper provides details about these new PA-8900–based HP 9000 servers, shows their features and benefits, discusses their electrical architecture, and provides a breakdown of their unique high-availability features. Introducing the PA-8900 processor The PA-8900 processor is a dual-core microprocessor chip that runs at the same speeds—800 MHz and 1 GHz—that are now offered in the HP 9000 rp3410-2, rp3440-4 and rp4440-8 Servers, but doubles the 32 MB cache of the PA-8800 microprocessor to 64 MB. Like the PA-8800, the PA-8900 microprocessor achieves a compelling, balanced increase in performance over the PA-8700+ and previous versions of the PA-RISC microprocessor in a broad range of commercial and technical computing applications. Key advances include greater compute density, a higher-bandwidth system bus, and a large second-level cache, translating into a significant performance boost. In addition to these performance increases, the PA-8900 processor provides significant advances in high availability and lower power requirements compared to previous generations of PA-RISC processors. The PA-8900 processor is a true dual-core design.

All rights reserved. Virtualizing Legacy PA-RISC Based Servers and Applications Abstract Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) offers a product called HPE 9000 Containers. This product allows you to virtualize older, legacy, PA-RISC based HP-UX servers and their applications onto newer Itanium-based HP-UX servers. In this white paper we will explore how Service IT Direct has used this product with two of its customers to increase their application performance and availability while decreasing rack space usage, power and cooling requirements, and maintenance costs. Customer Problems Service IT Direct was approached by two customers asking for a solution that would allow them to modernize their aging PA-RISC based hardware, running HP-UX, and storage environment. However, they still need to run legacy versions of the HP-UX operating system and their databases and applications currently in production. Some of the reasons given for this request were: age of the hardware; increasing number of service calls for the hardware; increasing cost of hardware maintenance; system and application performance, or lack thereof; lack of system redundancy; rack space usage; power inefficiency.
