Executive Summary
The data center, a mission-critical, enterprise facility, is a complex and
demanding technology environment, requiring computing equipment that is
extraordinarily reliable, scalable and manageable. Data center server
equipment must provide the level of high availability that data center
customers demand. The server manufacturer also must provide the level of
service and support that these customers expect.
HP now offers a new server in the HP NetServer product family, which
complements the HP PA-RISC products. The new, high level of computing
power provided by the HP NetServer LXr 8500 can address the major
computing challenges customers face today in enterprise resource planning
(ERP), database management systems (DBMS) including on-line transaction
processing (OLTP), data warehousing and data marts, thin client,
consolidated messaging, and many other applications.
This white paper will focus on the technical aspects of the HP NetServer
LXr 8500. This server is an 8-way capable product, supporting the latest and
most powerful Intel processor, the Intel
®
Pentium
®
III Xeon™. The product is
optimized for the data center; specifically, elements of the architecture,
configuration and industrial design were chosen to meet the requirements of
this market.
Introduction
Data Center Needs
The data center, as a repository of information assets, is an integral
component of the enterprise infrastructure. It generally consists of mission-
critical, application-specific data stored in large databases and on file servers.
Long-emerging trends and technologies such as network computing, the
Internet and massive data growth are dramatically increasing the demands on
this environment.
Selecting the appropriate server equipment that resides at the center of this
information web is critical. Each of the components in a server system must
be balanced and scalable for maximum throughput capability under a variety
of application loads, whether the workload is CPU, I/O or network intensive.
