Featuring up to eight PA-8800 processors and
the performance-enhancing HP zx1 Chipset, along
with 64 GB of available memory, the HP 9000 rp4440-8
server offers more performance per CPU, more than
twice the performance density, and three times
the memory scalability available in the previous-generation
rp5400 series servers based on the PA-8700 processor.
For customers new to the HP 9000 family, the rp4440-8
server is an opportunity to jumpstart your server
performance in a variety of middle-tier applications-
from Java¢â/Web applications to ERP and CRM-in
the datacenter.
HP has designed the HP 9000 rp4440-8 server to
get the most out of the powerful PA-8800 processor
by integrating the processor with our own HP zx1
Chipset. This chipset offers decreased memory
latency and increased memory bandwidth, enabling
the server to achieve even greater performance.
What's more, the same chipset is specifically
designed for use with both the PA-8800 processor
and the Intel® Itanium® 2 processor, making it
both easy and effective to perform an in-box upgrade
from the HP 9000 rp4440-8 server to the HP Integrity
rx4640 server.
This makes an already highly scalable server
even more flexible and ready to meet new demands
and business challenges as your organization continues
to grow. In all, the HP 9000 rp4440-8 server is
a highly flexible platform, making affordable
8-way serving a reality for both new and existing
customers.
