HP has refreshed its Integrity server lineup with the latest processor technology and new software to help customers reduce costs through enhanced automation and improved energy efficiency.

Enterprise customers with the most demanding computing environments can now reap advantages from new system software innovations in power and remote management across HP Integrity and Integrity NonStop server systems running HP-UX 11i, Microsoft Windows Server, Linux and OpenVMS.

In addition, the Integrity systems family of servers and server blades are now powered by the latest Intel Itanium processor 9100 series, code named Montvale. HP Integrity NonStop servers with Montvale processors also offer up to a 20 per cent price/performance increase over previous generations of the systems.

HP Integrity revenue grew 71 per cent year over year in HP’s third fiscal quarter of 2007.

Currently, more than 13,000 software applications from independent software developers run on the HP Integrity platform.

Power and remote management drive customer value

HP is extending its common remote management solution for BladeSystem, ProLiant servers and entry-class Integrity servers to now include HP Integrity cell-based servers. HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is now available for Integrity servers from blades all the way up to Superdome servers.

HP Integrity servers also are adding new server power monitoring and regulation capabilities with tools to allow customers to remotely monitor actual power consumption and thermal output on Integrity entry-class and blade servers.

Expanding the efficient power designs already available with HP Thermal Logic for HP Integrity servers, these new Integrity iLO 2 and HP Insight Power Manager tools enable customers to monitor and regulate server power and switch power states as needed.
