HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server

Designed to grow with your current and future business needs, the HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server is a low-cost solution that offers tremendous performance scalability and expansion capability. The HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server family provides multiple performance points, featuring up to 2-way SMP performance that rivals midrange servers.

The D-Class server also offers two expansion choices. The HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server supports HP’s 64-bit PA-8000 CPU as well as other members of the HP Precision Architecture family of reduced-instruction-set computing (PA-RISC) processors. With capability for an 10X performance scalability range and I/O and storage expandability—all within the same highly affordable system cabinet—the D-Class brings performance, expandability, and investment protection previously unseen in the entry-level market.

Designed for Growth

From its conception, the HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server has been designed for unprecedented scalability in a low-cost platform. With easy “in-the-box” upgrade paths through many performance, I/O, and storage points, the HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server delivers unbeatable long-term investment protection among entry-level systems.

High Performance at an Entry-Level Price

Building on HP’s strength and experience in server technology, the D-Class offers the performance of midrange servers but at entry-level prices. Scaling up to 960 MB/s (peak capacity) system bus, 320 MB/s I/O subsystem, 2-way SMP PA-RISC processors, and high-speed disk and networking cards, the HP 9000 D-Class Server challenges the concept of an entry-level platform on everything but price.

Mission-Critical High Availability

In keeping with HP’s tradition of quality and reliability, the HP 9000 D-Class server incorporates many high-availability features such as auto restart and deallocation of a failed CPU for SMP configurations, remote management card with built-in modem, and hot-plug disk drives allowing online replacement and addition of disk drives.

The robust HP-UX operating system features memory page deallocation to block out defective memory segments that have single-bit errors without the need to reboot. When coupled with the MC/ServiceGuard enterprise high-availability solutions, HP’s patented AutoRAID disk arrays, and HP’s intelligent PowerTrust uninterruptible power supplies, HP’s D-Class server provides mission-critical availability.

HP 9000 D-Class as a Powerful Web Server

In addition to enterprise-class capabilities, HP-UX also provides a rich Internet-ready environment featuring services for e-mail, remote access, Internet server function, and client configuration services. With the addition of optional World Wide Web server and browser solutions, the HP 9000 D-Class Enterprise Server represents a powerful Internet solution.

HP 9000 D-CLass as a Strong Technical Server

HP 9000 D-Class servers also provide excellent performance for technical markets, such as MDA and EDA. By achieving the high compute and file server performance that technical markets demand, the HP 9000 D-Class provides a winning formula for technical server needs.
