THE TEST PLATFORM: PROLIANT DL760
The ProLiant DL760 server was designed for mission-critical environments and offers an
outstanding combination of high performance and high availability features, with 8 processors, 16
GB of SDRAM, 11 hot-pluggable 64-bit I/O slots (of which 8 are PCI-X slots), redundant hot plug
power supplies and fans, and more. The ProLiant DL760 has been developed to meet the needs of
customers requiring scalability and fault tolerance in a data center environment. With the latest
performance, reliability, manageability, and serviceability features in a modular, dense 7U form
factor design, this server provides an ideal solution for demanding enterprise applications. PCI-X
is the next evolution of the PCI I/O standard and is backward compatible with PCI. Customers can
install their existing PCI adapters in the ProLiant DL760 while investing in new PCI-X adapters.
High speed PCI-X I/O technology was developed by Compaq and is being licensed to others in the
industry.
Today's mission-critical applications demand ever-increasing scalability and availability from data
center servers. The ProLiant DL760, with new Intel Pentium III Xeon 900-MHz processors and
PCI-X I/O, delivers the performance and uptime required to meet the current and future demands
of enterprise server consolidation, e-business, ERP, thin client, compute engine, mail and
messaging, and data mining applications. Based on the Profusion architecture jointly developed by
Compaq, Corollary and Intel, the ProLiant DL760 offers excellent scalability driven by its
balanced system architecture.
