HP introduces PA-8700 based mid range serversPalo Alto 18 September 2001 In addition to the Superdome enhancements, Hewlett-Packard also announced a mid-range HP Server rp8400. Using up to 16 PA-RISC 8700 processors the HP Server rp8400 extends HP's mid-range UNIX server offerings, which include the up-to-8-processor HP Server rp7400, formerly known as the N-class server.
The HP Server rp8400's Internet performance leadership is
illustrated with a world-record SPECweb benchmark of 15,000
connections per second, better than any server in the market.
The system, with HP-UX 11i and its linear scalability,
demonstrates additional mid-range performance leadership in its
handling of Java applications. With a SPECjbb2000 performance
result of 118,547 operations per second, the HP Server rp8400
outperforms a Sunfire 6800 by nearly 10 percent while using one-third
fewer processors.
For technical applications, the HP Server rp8400 demonstrates
best-in-class SPEC CFP2000 and CINT2000 rates of 71 and 98.2,
respectively (peak rates for 16 processors).
