With Intel® Itanium® 2 processors at 1.5 GHz with 6M L3 cache, 1.3 GHz with 3M L3 cache, 1.4 GHz with 1.5M L3 cache, or 1.0 GHz with 1.5M L3 cache and up to 24 GB of memory, the 2-way HP Integrity rx2600 server helps you achieve more performance, improve business processes, and manage your IT more efficiently. The HP Integrity rx2600 server empowers technical computing users to do more simulations, do more in depth analysis, run complex models faster, and render high-quality images with optimized performance. Commercial computing users will run their applications with superior performance, decreased costs, and reduced complexity.

Extensive Itanium®-based systems experience and codeveloper insights resulted in unmatched HP system performance gains through the development of the HP Scalable Processor Chipset zx1. Invented by HP, the zx1 Chipset fully unleashes the power of Intel® Itanium® 2 processors by lowering memory latencies and increasing memory and I/O subsystem scalability. With the HP zx1 Chipset, Itanium® 2-based HP Integrity servers achieve industry-leading performance and memory expandability.

The performance achieved through the Itanium processor itself and the accompanying zx1 Chipset is further enhanced when rx2600 servers are used in a clustering solution. Because each HP Integrity rx2600 server is only 3.5 inches high (2U), clustering multiple HP Integrity rx2600 servers packs unprecedented performance into a densely racked, low-priced solution. Clusters allow the consolidation of system resources such as I/O, bandwidth, memory, mass storage, and compute capacity. The rx2600 cluster solutions also ensure data integrity, maximize application availability, and minimize planned maintenance time. Regardless of your choice of HP-UX, Linux, OpenVMS or Windows, HP has a powerful, flexible, highly available, and easily managed cluster solution to meet your needs.
