UNIX functionality at the price of a PC server
for jobs that need plenty of performance in a compact, self-contained unit but dont require back-office big iron, these servers are ready
The HP Servers rp2430 and rp2470 are perfect for distributed sites and branch office locations of large enterprises, and for use in small and medium-sized businesses. With the HP rp2430 and rp2470, you gain all the functionality and robustness of a UNIX server at the price of a PC server platform. The HP rp2430 and rp2470 servers evolved from the popular HP 9000 A-class. HPs rp2400 series servers pack more performance and capability in the same compact package.
designed for optimal performance
With the performance afforded by one or two PA-8700 RISC processors running at 650 or 750MHz, and memory of up to 8GB, the HP Server rp2400 series can take any business application job and get it done quickly. Each server has two internal disks and a maximum storage capacity of 146GB. Plus, with up to four I/O slots that accept 64-bit cards and run at 66MHz, and with support for the robust HP-UX operating system, the HP rp2400 series is perfect for workloads requiring high availability and superior bandwidth.
broadbandImprove customer and internal communications by streaming media in real time over the Internet to satisfy the growing demand for access to rich content. The rp2400 series appeals to broadband providers because: the compact form factor and choice of standalone or racked configuration make it ideal for remote locations and branch environments. the large memory capabilities and high I/O bandwidth are perfect for the demands of streaming media.
affordable to acquire, economical to operate
Even with all their capability, these servers are remarkably cost-effective, boasting attractive price points that provide unprecedented value. Theyre economical to operate, too, thanks to a small 2U (3.5-inch) size that saves data center space and lets you pack 20 servers (and 40 processors) into a standard rack.
CRMIncrease the effectiveness of your sales and services organizations by transforming raw sales data into accessible and useful customer information. If youre doing customer relationship management (CRM), the rp2400 series is an excellent solution because: at this price point its the perfect answer to replicating many application servers for branch office use. large memory can handle large amounts of data, yielding great performance and fast response times. mobile e-servicesExtend fixed location enterprise information to provide anytime, anywhere access to mobile users. The rp2400 series shines in mobile e-services applications because: high reliability and performance provide the fast response and availability that always-on mobile customers demand. high I/O bandwidth translates into high throughput between distributed locations. technical computingRun smart solutions for chemical and pharmaceutical research, electronic design automation (EDA), mechanical computer-aided engineering (MCAE), and product data management (PDM). The rp2400 series is a great choice for technical computing because: large memory handles multiple applications and lots of data with ease. fast processor speed and high I/O bandwidth means high throughput for heavy-duty computing.
remarkably easy to deploy and manage
The HP Server rp2400 family is easy to deploy, which ensures faster time-torevenue. And HP systems and network management capabilities help reduce operating costs. For instance, tools like the integrated HP Secure Web Console for Web-based management provide a wide range of single-system and multisystem management features. And to help ensure high uptime, the rp2430 and rp2470 have high availability built in, including HPs Extended Fault Management System for the ultimate in error detection and avoidance.
