Executive summary

For many types of computing, systems based on the Intel

Itanium

2 processor offer markedly superior

performance over other systems that utilize RISC or IA-32 processors while still maintaining a very competitive

price. The HP Integrity rx2600, rx4640, and rx5670 servers deliver price/performance that has changed the

64-bit server market.

The rx2600, rx4640, and rx5670 utilize the exclusive HP Scalable Processor Chipset zx1, which integrates the

Intel Itanium 2 processor with industry-leading high-bandwidth and low-latency connections to memory and I/O.

HP is proving the Intel Itanium architecture concept of highly parallel, 64-bit performance with a trio of servers that

are full featured, have a unique high-bandwidth system architecture, and use industry-leading commodity parts to

ensure compatibility and economical pricing.

This white paper provides details about these new HP Integrity servers, shows their features and benefits, discusses

their electrical architectures, and provides a breakdown of their unique high-availability features. What’s more,

this paper illustrates how HP simplifies the transition from RISC and IA-32 while preserving an IT user’s investment

in existing software.

Introducing the Intel

Itanium

2 processor

The Intel Itanium 2 processor is a milestone in the continuing evolution of microprocessors because it will be the

first enterprise-class 64-bit processor that has the power to become pervasive. Let’s take a closer look at what this

means.

Today, 32-bit servers or proprietary 64-bit RISC servers are the norm. They have respectable price/performance

ratios but are either fundamentally limited in performance scalability or are exceedingly expensive.

Servers based on the Intel-architecture 32-bit (IA-32) processors, for example, are unable to address large

amounts of memory efficiently. Meanwhile, 64-bit RISC architectures have the necessary performance and

addressing, but they are more expensive and generally lock the customer into a proprietary operating

environment and a single computer vendor. End users and IT professionals alike are clamoring for high

performance and large addressing at an economical price. And they also are asking for pervasiveness so that

they do not have to deal with multiple architectures and complexity.

HP and Intel co-developed the Intel Itanium 2 microarchitecture. The result is a high-performance, parallel 64-bit

architecture that has the performance headroom to grow in the future and can be priced at a level to ensure its

widespread adoption. The Intel Itanium 2 microarchitecture fulfills both of these promises and is likely to become

pervasive very quickly. The Intel Itanium 2 processor is the fundamental building block of the entry-level

HP Integrity servers, the rx2600, rx4640 and the rx5670.

Itanium 2–based HP Integrity rx2600, rx4640, and rx5670

servers

Itanium 2–based servers from HP are targeted at performance-hungry markets such as technical and scientific

computing, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Web serving, application serving, and database applications. What’s

more, these systems are highly affordable, making them extremely attractive to software developers. Read on to

learn about the system features that fulfill these promises.

HP Integrity rx2600 server at a glance

The HP Integrity rx2600 is the industry’s first 2-way Itanium 2–based server. It has a sleek 2U footprint, but it can

be equipped with up to two 1.5 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 240 gigaFLOPS of potential power.

The HP Integrity rx2600 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 rx2600 the clear leader among 2-way Itanium 2–based servers.
