Features
Improved Platform Value with New Innovations in HP-UX and HPE Storage
The HPE Integrity BL870c i6 Server Blade extends mission-critical computing of the HPE Integrity and HP-UX platform with support for the new i6 servers through at least 2025. Take advantage of recent HP-UX innovations that include Veritas 6.1 File system support, Online HP-UX vPAR migration, Smart Quorum with Serviceguard and OpenStack support for efficient data management and high availability.
Decrease IT TCO costs while boosting IO workload performance by upgrading to the latest HPE XP7 and HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 and 20000 series All Flash arrays. Investment protection with up to two generations of Itanium (i2, i4 or i6) able to coexist in same enclosure.
Speed up Mission-Critical Applications
The HPE Integrity BL870c i6 Server Blade comes in two or four, 4-core and 8-core, Intel Itanium 9700 Series processors that provide up to 32 cores of computing power for the most demanding mission-critical workload requirements.
Four embedded HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric connections for network and storage which reduces the need for additional I/O mezzanine cards. HPE Integrity Virtual Machines, included with the Matrix OE, that offer the benefits of increased resource utilisation and flexibility (shared processor and I/O devices), and rapid deployment.
Improve Reliability and Increase Manageability with HP-UX
HP-UX 11i v3 provides a proven operating environment delivering one of the industry's most resilient UNIX platform so your mission-critical applications are running and secure without compromise.
HP-UX vPars that dynamically adjust and share resources, and require very little overhead. HPE Integrity Virtual Machines, included with the Matrix OE, that offer the benefits of increased resource utilisation and flexibility (shared processor and I/O devices) and rapid deployment.
HPE Integrity Integrated Lights-Out3 (iLO 3) remote management provides built-in core management functions to simplify setup, health monitoring, and remote administration. Every HPE BL870c i6 Server Blade ships with an HPE Integrity iLO 3 Advanced Pack license pre-installed.
