Standalone pedestal configuration

The Integrity rx2600 server is also available in a standalone configuration when a cabinet is not desired. The

standalone system is ideal for an office environment, under a desk, or on a shelf. The standalone configuration

uses a stylish tower mounting shell, with the system simply placed inside this shell.

Note: Dimensions for standalone/pedestal configuration: height = 19.5 inches (49.5 cm), depth = 26.5 inches

(67.3 cm), width = 11.7 inches (29.7 cm).

Workstation or server? Here’s how to choose

HP also sells the Itanium 2–based HP Workstation zx6000. The HP Integrity rx2600 server and HP Workstation

zx6000 are both 1- or 2-way Itanium 2–based systems. Both utilize HP’s high-performance zx1 Chipset. Beyond

that, however, the Integrity server is a very different class of system.

The Integrity rx2600 server is optimized for high-performance server I/O with four 133 MHz PCI-X slots, including

one full-bandwidth 1 GB/s slot. The HP Workstation zx6000 is optimized for high-performance AGP graphics

support. Moreover, the Integrity rx2600 server includes many high-availability features that are critical in

commercial and many technical server environments; these high-availability features, such as chip spare memory

and high-availability clustering support, are unique to the Integrity rx2600 server. This server is the best choice for

compute node clusters and mission-critical commercial applications because of its advanced connectivity, remote

manageability, and superior availability.

The two systems also support different versions of HP strategic operating systems. The Integrity rx2600 server

supports the commercial and technical operating environments of HP-UX, Microsoft’s Windows Server 2003

operating system, and OpenVMS. The HP Workstation zx6000 supports the client and technical versions of HP-UX

as well as the Microsoft Windows XP client operating system. For Linux, the workstation and server support

different distributions, focused on either client or server computing. The following table summarizes the differences

between the Integrity rx2600 server and HP Workstation zx6000.
