Build an IT environment that delivers 

better business results 

Today, everything is mobile, connected, interactive, 

immediate, fluid, and mission critical. For businesses 

to gain a competitive or service advantage in the face 

of these new customer and constituent patterns, their 

technology has to be at the forefront of enterprise 

innovation and growth. Tomorrow’s leaders will 

be organizations that leverage technology to 

capitalize on, rather than simply adapt to, changing 

customer expectations. 

We are truly in the era of convergence. CIOs turn to 

infrastructure convergence to enable organizations to 

transform technology into a business advantage that 

makes IT one of the most important partners in the 

organization. It does so by turning technology silos into 

adaptive pools of assets that can be shared by many 

applications and managed as a service to enable 

instant access. 

As a decision maker focused on increasing your 

competitive advantage, you are likely to be searching 

for the best way to overcome IT sprawl and free up 

untapped IT capacity so that you can react more quickly 

to current and new business opportunities. The solution 

is a converged infrastructure—one that aligns IT with 

business demands. 

HP brings this converged infrastructure approach to the 

world of mission-critical computing in a way that no 

other technology partner can. Only HP is committed 

to providing the full mission-critical experience by 

combining always-on resiliency in systems, protected 

data in storage, secure networks, and mission-critical 

services all integrated in a HP mission-critical 

Converged Infrastructure. 

Today’s mission-critical needs are typically addressed 

with UNIX ® or mainframe solutions. As customers look to 

deploy more workloads on industry-standard solutions, 

including Linux and Windows ® , x86 can play a 

significant role in mission-critical computing. Your UNIX 

investments today can adapt to future workloads. With 

HP mission-critical Converged Infrastructure, you are 

ready for the future. 

The result is accelerated business value delivery and the 

“flipping” of the IT cost ratio so that more resources can 

be spent on innovation and strategic business initiatives 

rather than on operations. 

Mission-critical converged infrastructure: 

the foundation of the next decade of 

mission-critical computing 

Only HP is committed to providing the full mission-critical 

experience by combining always-on resiliency in 

systems, protected data in storage, secure networks, 

and mission-critical services in an integrated 

HP Mission-Critical Converged Infrastructure. As the 

foundation of the world’s first mission-critical converged 

infrastructure, HP Integrity systems deliver: 

• Simplified and unified IT—a common modular 

architecture from x86 to HP Integrity Superdome 2 

• Always-on resiliency—reliable from CPU to solution 

• Dynamic optimization—integrated virtualization and 

management to optimally scale resources 

• Future-ready infrastructure—today’s investments adapt 

to your future mission-critical workloads 

3

Leverage the full mission-critical experience for your 

UNIX, HP Integrity NonStop, HP OpenVMS environments 

while extending this mission-critical experience to 

your Windows and Linux environments, all with 

HP mission-critical Converged Infrastructure as the 

“common” foundation. HP Project Odyssey helps you 

redefine the future of mission-critical computing by 

unifying UNIX and x86 server architectures to bring 

industry-leading availability, increased performance, 

and uncompromising client choice to a single platform.

HP Integrity systems deliver modern 

mission-critical results 

The new lineup of Integrity systems blends 

HP BladeSystem efficiency with HP Integrity resiliency. 

Designed for investment protection and longevity, these 

servers expect to support the next three generations of 

Intel ® Itanium ® processors. 

HP Integrity Superdome 2 is the ultimate mission-critical 

platform, scaling up, out, and within to consolidate 

applications on a common platform. Engineered 

with trusted Integrity Superdome reliability, 

Superdome 2 now includes a modular bladed design, 

common components, and standard racks. What’s more, 

Superdome 2 is more reliable than ever before, with 

a 450 percent boost to infrastructure reliability and fault 

tolerance built into the crossbar fabric. 1 

HP Integrity server blades are the industry’s first eight-socket 

UNIX scale-up server blades built on the #1 blade 

infrastructure 2 —flexible mission-critical server blades that 

combine the efficiency of HP BladeSystem to accelerate 

IT effectiveness. There are three models: the HP Integrity 

BL860c i2 Server Blade; the HP Integrity BL870c i2 

Server Blade; and the BL890c i2 Server Blade, which 

is the industry’s first eight-socket UNIX scale-up server 

blade. The Integrity server blades feature our unique 

Blade Link technology, which combines multiple blades 

to create two-, four-, and eight-socket systems, as well 

as HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology, which offers 

increased network scalability and configuration flexibility 

with up to 20 times more networking bandwidth. Plus, 

Integrity server blades offer more than double the 

performance in half the footprint with built-in resiliency 

and less power. 3 Moreover, HP Integrity server blades 

also support the HP-UX, Windows, and OpenVMS 

OSs. Finally, the ability to mix and match HP Integrity, 

HP ProLiant, and HP BladeSystem storage blades within 

the same enclosure provides flexibility to grow as your 

business demands change. 

HP Integrity BL860c i2 and BL870c i2 Server Blades, 

along with the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 Server, are 

now NEBS Level 3 certified. NEBS Level 3 certification, 

with –48 vdc power supplies, enables equipment 

operability in network facility environments.

previous generation of Integrity Superdome. 

2 Based on Q2 CY2011 IDC Quarterly Server Tracker, August 2011. 

3 Based on HP internal comparisons and HP analysis of comparably 

configured HP rackmount systems in testing conducted in February 2010.

Rackmount Integrity servers and Integrity 

NonStop servers complete the line 

HP Integrity servers continue to be available in the same 

rackmount configurations that many of our customers 

prefer to deploy. Complementing the Integrity family, 

HP Integrity NonStop servers provide 24x7x365 

application availability and are ideal for supporting 

applications that require 100 percent availability, 

real-time high-volume transaction processing, and 

exceptional security—all delivered out of the box. 

HP-UX 11i v3: the operating system 

of the HP mission-critical Converged 

Infrastructure 

HP-UX 11i v3 is designed to deliver the always-on 

resiliency, dynamic optimization of resources, and 

investment protection demanded in mission-critical 

computing. It integrates proven UNIX functionality 

with advances in high availability, security, partitioning, 

workload management, and instant capacity on demand, 

and delivers it within the industry’s first mission-critical 

converged infrastructure to increase flexibility while 

reducing risk and total cost of ownership (TCO). 

HP-UX 11i v3 on HP Integrity servers is ideal for 

mission-critical applications such as SAP and 

Oracle, where it delivers even greater value by 

providing end-to-end integration, virtualization, and 

infrastructure management with the HP Matrix Operating 

Environment (formerly Insight Dynamics—VSE), high 

availability with HP Serviceguard Solutions, and 

pretesting of a broad range of independent software 

vendor applications. Plus, because HP Integrity servers 

are based on a modular system design and open 

standards, you can carry your current investments into 

the future at your own pace. 

HP CloudSystem Matrix: the private 

cloud platform for HP mission-critical 

Converged Infrastructure 

CloudSystem Matrix is the industry’s only converged 

infrastructure architected for any workload from the 

desktop to the data center. CloudSystem Matrix with 

HP-UX and HP Integrity servers utilizes the Integrity 

system’s modular design and open standards with 

the Matrix OE built into HP-UX 11i v3 VSE OE and 

HP-UX 11i v3 DC-OE to deliver a change-ready 

infrastructure that can support all applications—from 

infrastructure to mission critical—on a single platform. 

With proven innovations like HP Virtual Connect, 

Thermal Logic, and Insight Management, Cloud System 

Matrix with Integrity servers and HP-UX enables you to 

provision your infrastructure and applications for your 

private cloud in minutes rather than months, resulting in 

TCO savings of up to 56 percent. 4 CloudSystem Matrix 

is an efficient path to a mission-critical private cloud on 

Integrity servers. 

CloudSystem Matrix can be further extended by 

adding HP Cloud Service Automation software 

to include a self-service infrastructure portal for 

auto-provisioning and built-in lifecycle management 

to enhance infrastructure, monitor applications, and 

offer uptime for your cloud and traditional IT. For more 

information, visit www.hp.com/go/matrix for specific 

solution details and visit www.hp.com/go/cloudsystem

also need intelligent software, advanced storage 

devices, expert services across the IT lifecycle, and 

system-enhancing options. 

HP infrastructure software—Do you need the most 

efficient, in-depth way to understand, manage, and 

control your complex IT environment? Is balancing 

physical and virtual resources important for increasing 

your IT utilization? Do you need to reduce business risk 

from unplanned downtime? The Matrix OE allows you 

to plan capacity and power continuously, provision 

infrastructure in minutes, and balance physical and 

virtual resources with mission-critical availability.

HP storage—A core element of the HP Converged 

Infrastructure, HP storage solutions enable virtual pools 

of capacity that are built on a foundation of platform 

modularity, capacity optimization, and application 

integration. Clustered scale-out storage solutions from 

HP—which virtualize at the disk, network, and file 

system level—provide always-on resiliency, improve 

scalability dramatically, and simplify management. This 

improves utilization rates significantly while reducing 

management costs by up to 50 percent. HP storage 

solutions reduce risk and provide 24x7 operations via 

completely redundant hardware platforms and unique 

replication capabilities.

its own guest OS instance (HP-UX 11i, Windows, and Linux) and offers complete software isolation. Online migration is also available, 

allowing a running VM and its guest OS and applications to be moved to a different VM Host without service interruption, OS reboot, or 

application restart. 

HP Virtual Partitions (vPars) 23 Improves utilization by allowing multiple HP-UX instances to share one server or hard partition. Each vPar runs its own copy of HP-UX and 

offers complete software isolation. Granularity is down to one processor core. Processor cores and memory can be dynamically migrated. 

HP Matrix OE The HP Matrix OE is advanced infrastructure lifecycle management software that allows you to plan power and capacity continuously, 

provision infrastructure in minutes, and balance physical and virtual resources with mission-critical availability. 

The Matrix OE is integrated by design and includes the following capabilities: 

• Partitioning with HP Integrity Virtual Machines or HP Virtual Partitions. 

• Capacity planning (HP Capacity Advisor 23 ): Easy-to-use and energy-aware tool for capacity planning, continuous analysis, and 

optimized workload placement. HP Smart Solver technology shows the excellent fits for your workloads. You can test various scenarios 

before you make any changes to your critical applications to align to your business needs. 

• Configuration management: Reduces complexity by providing unified visualization and management of physical and virtual servers. 

It enables you to graphically visualize and configure how your virtual resources are being used and how they map to your physical 

infrastructure. 

• Workload management (HP Global Workload Manager 23 ): Allocates server resources automatically so that the highest-priority 

applications get the resources they need. Designed for multisystem Integrity server environments, it is ideal for large, centralized 

IT environments that host applications for many departments. 

• Infrastructure orchestration: Lets you provision infrastructure in minutes to automatically activate physical servers, storage, and 

networking from pools of shared resources.
