Performance and scalability
The HP 9000 rp7440 and rp8440 Servers continue to provide leading-edge performance and
scalability to the midrange server market. After factoring in racking density, HP midrange servers
maintain performance density at least double that of the competition.
The following section summarizes the main performance and scalability characteristics of the HP
9000 rp7440 and rp8440 Servers.
