Overview                                                                      

The sx2000 supports a wide array of partitioning and virtualization options. Hard partitions (nPars) provide full hardware isolation between partitions. Virtual partitions (vPars) and HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM) allow hard partitions to be further subdivided to provide fine-grained control over the assignment of resources.

The HP sx2000 is an enterprise systems chipset that is designed to provide scalability, reliability, manageability and performance to meet the most demanding server needs. The chipset, used in the latest HP Integrity and HP 9000 high-end and midrange servers, supports the new dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 and Itanium 2 9M processors, while providing a foundation for the upcoming Itanium 2 “Montvale” processor. In addition, with the support of the HP PA-8900 RISC processors on the sx2000 chipset, HP Itanium 2 processors and PA-8900 RISC processors can concurrently operate in an HP Integrity Superdome in separate hard partitions. This provides the flexibility and longevity to maximize return-on-investment (ROI).
