| | PRIMEQUEST 580A offers flexible and scalable configuration capabilities for up to 32 Dual-Core processors and belonging I/O resources in a space-saving system cabinet. Automatic reconfiguration and flexible partitioning with up to 16 fail-safe, hardware isolated partitions using eXtended PARtitioning (XPAR) provide optimum resource usage with multiple OS instances. Red Hat Linux with Xen makes perfect the outstanding offering for PRIMEQUEST 580A in terms of virtualization.
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, i.e. not influencing the IT production. FIO allows on demand reallocation of I/O resources to specific processing resources, which enables I/O to match throughput and performance requirements.
Enhanced performance (compared to the predecessors) and reliability of the new Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® processor 9100 series with 1.66 GHz, large main memory capacities up to 2 Terabyte, high speed crossbar interconnect (up to 170 Gbyte/s throughput) and low memory latencies satisfy huge system and application bandwidth demands. |
