NonStop System Glossary

HP Integrity NonStop NS1000 servers
An entry-level NonStop NS-series server based on the rx2620 blade element.
HP Integrity NonStop NS1200 servers
An entry-level NonStop NS-series server based on the rx2660 blade element.
HP Integrity NonStop NS2000 series servers
An entry-level group of NonStop NS-series servers based on dual-core Itanium processors running
on rx2660 blade elements. NonStop NS2000 series servers run the J-series release versions of
the HP NonStop operating system. The NonStop NS2000 is an AC-powered system installed in
a commercial rack, the NonStop NS2000T is a DC-powered system installed in a commercial
rack, and the NonStop NS2000ST is a DC-powered system installed in a seismic rack.
HP Integrity NonStop NS14000 series servers
A mid-range NonStop NS-series server which includes the NonStop NS14000 and NS14200
servers. NonStop NS14000 series servers include a NonStop Blade Complex (NSBC) for each
set of four logical processors. A logical processor, the equivalent to a CPU in other systems, consists
of a logical synchronization unit (LSU) and multiple microprocessors, or microprocessor cores,
known as processor elements (PEs), each located in a different NonStop Blade Element (NSBE).
The LSU represents the logical processor and compares the outputs of the processor elements,
ensuring consistency while taking advantage of the built-in self-checking capabilities of the individual
processor elements. NonStop NS14000 series servers allow for either duplex (or dual-modular
redundancy (DMR)), or triplex (or triple-modular redundancy (TMR)) processor configurations.
HP Integrity NonStop NS16000 series servers
A high-end NonStop NS-series server which includes the NonStop NS16000 and NS16200
servers. NonStop NS16000 series servers include a NonStop Blade Complex (NSBC) for each
set of four logical processors. A logical processor, the equivalent to a CPU in other systems, consists
of a logical synchronization unit (LSU) and multiple microprocessors, or microprocessor cores,
known as processor elements (PEs), each located in a different NonStop Blade Element (NSBE).

HP Integrity NonStop NS-series servers
The Integrity NonStop servers having product numbers beginning with the letters NS. These servers
implement the ServerNet architecture and run the NonStop operating system.
HP Integrity NonStop Server Blade
A component in the HP c7000 BladeSystem installed in NonStop BladeSystems. NonStop server
blades house the microprocessors.
HP NonStop Blade Complex (NSBC)
The set of one, two, or three NonStop Blade Elements and their associated LSUs. For the first release
of Integrity NonStop servers, a NonStop Blade Complex contains one to four logical processors.
Also called a Blade Complex.
