HP for High Availability, Reliability
and Serviceability
HP products have earned an out-
standing reputation for reliability
over the years. Our engineers
build quality and innovation into
every server design. HP
NetServers come with a number
of state-of-the-art features that
prevent downtime including
redundant, hot-swap compo-
nents such as fans and power
supplies and hot plug PCI for on-
line replacement of failed PCI
cards. The modular design,
front-loading bays, and hot-swap
disks in HP NetServers make it
easy to add or replace compo-
nents. Automatic server restart,
error checking, and correcting
(ECC) system memory and
processor cache, and optional
triple-channel HP NetRAID disk
controllers also contribute to a
complete solution that maxi-
mizes your uptime, maintains
high levels of data availability,
and reduces your service costs.
HP recently announced 99.9%
uptime commitment services for
enterprise HP NetServers like
the HP NetServer LXr 8000 sys-
tems.
HP’s Management Capabilities Fit Data
Warehouse Needs
HP OpenView ManageX/SE simpli-
fies data warehouse management by
taking the guesswork out of isolat-
ing errors — whether generated by
hardware, the WindowsNT operat-
ing system or the Microsoft SQL
Server application. It also increases
availability by providing the built-in
tools for performance, event and
applications management across
heterogeneous systems and clusters.
To evaluate system health or plan
your future capacity needs, HP
NetServers come with HP TopTools.
HP TopTools is a web browser-
based device management applica-
tion that manages HP servers, desk-
tops, mobiles, hubs and switches,
and printers from a single applica-
tion. HP TopTools automatically
and continuously monitors key envi-
ronmental events and critical sys-
tem components.
Our high-end HP NetServer
LXr 8000 has a pre-installed HP
TopTools Remote Control card for
built-in remote management over
LAN or modem. The HP TopTools
Control Card is also available as an
option on other HP NetServers. All
of these products integrate easily

fied solution that helps you keep
HP NetServers running night and
