Primequest 420/440/480 (400 Series)
Back to product information
PRIMEQUEST servers are mission critical IA servers which enable customers to realize the economic benefits and flexibility of Linux and Windows industry standards while preserving all the attributes for mission critical datacenter services. Combining the power of 64-bit Intel® Itanium®2 processors, the standard specifications of Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems and the wealth of market solutions with innovative fault immune system architecture for highest availability and business continuity, PRIMEQUEST servers provide a new operational efficiency for business critical computing with truly open standards. They meet the demands of customers to expand the reach of open industry standards to include mission critical enterprise operations.
Providing the highest availability and enhanced flexibility
PRIMEQUEST 400series are best choices for enterprises that are looking for a mission critical Intel® Itanium®2 based Linux or Windows platform to provide highest availability, robust performance and enhanced flexibility plus optimum resource usage.
Typical application areas for PRIMEQUEST servers include large-scale database systems online transaction processing environments that require a fail-safe mission critical platform flexibility for future growth.
PRIMEQUEST models offer flexible and scalable configuration capabilities for up to 8 / 16 processors and belonging I/O resources in a 19” rack mounted chassis (model 420) or in saving system cabinets. Automatic reconfiguration and flexible partitioning with up to 2 / 4 safe, hardware isolated partitions provide optimum resource usage with multiple OS instances. The advanced system architecture incorporates two innovative key technologies that provide highest availability in a single system: Mirror Mode and Flexible I/O (FIO). With Mirror Mode, crossbar interconnects and memory modules can operate in duplex mode to isolate faults without causing a system halt. FIO allows on demand reallocation of I/O resources to specific processing resources, which enables I/O to match throughput and performance requirements. High performance and reliability of the Intel® Itanium®2 processors, large main memory capacities up to 256 / 512 / 1,024 GB, high speed crossbar interconnect (up to 26.1 / 51.2 / 102.4 GB/s throughput) and lowest memory latencies satisfy huge system and application bandwidth demands. |
