HP rx2620 Server Support Expertise

Independent HP rx2620 Server Support Expertise



HP rx2620HP's insight as an Intel Itanium processor co-developer, and our extensive experience with Itanium-based systems, have produced unmatched HP system performance gains through the development of the HP scalable processor chipset zx1 for high-performance computing.
Invented by HP, the HP zx1 chipset fully unleashes the power of Intel Itanium 2 processors by lowering memory latencies and increasing memory and I/O subsystem scalability. In addition, the HP zx1 chipset allows the HP Integrity rx2620-2 server to run multiple operating systems for maximum deploy/redeploy utility. With the HP zx1 chipset, HP Integrity servers based on Intel Itanium 2 processors achieve industry-leading performance and memory expandability.

Features:

  • The HP Integrity rx2620-2 Server is the industry’s best-performing 2-way Itanium
    2–based server. It has a sleek 2U footprint and can be equipped with up to two
    1.6 GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors loaded with 6 MB of on-chip L3 cache and as
    much as 24 GB of RAM. This means that it has extraordinary compute density.
    Fitting 20 servers into a 2-meter rack delivers an astounding 256 gigaFLOPS of
    potential power.
  • The Integrity rx2620-2 Server also has extensive availability and management
    features, which make it ideal for deployments in mission-critical data centers or compute-intensive server farms. Features such as hot-swap redundant
    components, memory chip spare, an integrated management processor, and high-availability clustering support make the Integrity rx2620-2 Server the clear
    leader among 2-way Itanium 2–based servers.
