Re-energize your branch office and rack-mount server infrastructure HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server product overview

Accelerate mission-critical IT We all live and work in a new era of extreme business speed with heightened customer, partner, and employee expectations. To better compete and grow, businesses demand more innovation, speed, and flexibility from their data centers. This puts the pressure squarely on IT to deliver applications and new services quickly, while also paving the way for future innovation. Unfortunately, aging infrastructure and facilities limit business agility and drain IT budgets. Inflexible, monolithic, hardwired, and underutilized systems are too complex, costly to maintain, and too slow to respond to today’s business demands—a phenomenon known as IT sprawl. That is why infrastructure convergence has evolved as the optimal approach to overcome IT sprawl, while also establishing the ideal foundation for both traditional and cloud solutions. This is especially important for mission-critical environments due to the proliferation of technology that has created a world where everything is mobile, connected, interactive, immediate, and fluid—requiring IT to react to the speed of the business and stay up and running like never seen before. Simply put, you need a proven mission-critical infrastructure that you can trust to keep your vital business applications up and running. HP Mission-Critical Converged Infrastructure protects your business, keeps it up and running—with a simpler, integrated, and automated environment, for today and for the future.

HP Mission-Critical Converged Infrastructure

Is your branch office or data center server infrastructure challenged to support more users and applications within constrained budget, smaller IT staff and limited space or energy footprint? In your environment is downtime not an option, security is paramount and IT dynamics mandate a flexible converged infrastructure that scales with your business? The HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server, a reliable and secure 2U two-socket UNIX® server, is a great fit for branch offices and rack-mount server data centers supporting a range of mission-critical workloads. With up to 3.5X performance, 21 percent less energy consumption, and 33 percent lower TCO, the Integrity rx2800 i4 Server does more with less.1, 2, 3 It enables workload consolidation and software licensing cost savings through HP Virtual Partitions (vPars) or Virtual Machines (VMs), while HP Insight software and HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3) increase staff productivity. HP-UX 11i v3 and HP Serviceguard support provides always-on resiliency and disaster recovery capability. The Integrity rx2800 i4 Server offers exceptional configuration flexibility and also comes in tower configurations with reduced acoustics for deployment in infrastructure challenged office environments.
