HP NetServer AA What is HP AA? HP AA is a platform of high-availability solutions offering the highest levels of system uptime with the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry. Using HP NetServers, standard Windows NT, and unmodified "off-the-shelf" applications, every HP NetServer AA Solution delivers: • Nonstop processing through failures & repairs • Continuous data access to storage • Uninterrupted network connectivity • Disaster tolerance for multi-site protection In addition to using HP NetServers, an OEM hardware/software kit from Marathon Technologies is used to create one logical server array from four NetServers. The current model of the kit is known as the Endurance 4000 (AA 4000). Though HP AA is a HP product sold by HP and supported by HP, the system splash screens, administrative tools, and product documentation will make several references to Marathon and more importantly, Endurance 4000. Knowing the product name AA 4000 is important in order to maintain and apply the correct software revisions for the array itself and the firmware of the interconnect cards. For the remainder of this reference guide, when referring to the array as a whole, the convention used is HPAA. When referring to the specifics of the components, 'AA 4000' may be used to distinguish the generation of the product (as opposed to future products that may be referred to as 'E6XX'). 1-2 Hewlett-Packard Company
