The HP xw9400 combines HP innovation with the most advanced dual-, quad-, and six-core AMD Opteron processors allowing you to tackle compute and visually intensive applications, with fast design and analysis turnaround.
Features
Greater compute parallelism for workstations
•
The HP xw9400 Workstation now supports the AMD “Istanbul” 6-core processors. These processors are based on AMD’s 45nm technology and represent the first six-core processors available for workstations.
Uncompromised workstation visualization
•
Enabling up to 4 3D displays, the HP xw9400 provides scalable visualization capability for demanding high-performance graphics solutions. Native PCIe x16 dual ports support high-end graphics and SLI-enablement.
Extreme expandability
•
Implementation of the next generation of the NVIDIA nForce Professional chipset enables the HP xw9400 delivery of the highest performance AMD technology and excellent workstation expandability. Dual native PCIe x16 graphics (2 slots), PCIe x8 (2 slots), PCI-X 100 (2 slots), Serial ATA 3Gb/s and 8 Channel SAS are available on the HP xw9400. The 2 PCI-X 100 slots can be configured as a single PCI-X 133 slot to meet some Independent Hardware Vendors’ (IHVs) requirements.
The ultimate in data throughput
•
Large SCSI/SAS HDD capacity delivers the ultimate in data throughput. The HP xw9400 offers 8 channel Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), the latest, highest performance disk subsystem. The 8 channels provide dedicated bandwidth to each SAS hard drive allowing for an optional external SAS connection to support external storage arrays while still providing maximum internal storage capability.
Added performance and reliability
•
With integrated SAS or SATA RAID controllers, the HP xw9400 provides RAID 0 (disk mirroring for fault tolerance) and RAID 1 (disk striping for high data bandwidth to and from a disk array) support. Optional RAID 10 (striping + mirroring) and RAID 5 (striping + parity for additional data integrity) is available through an add-in PCI card.
Excellent computing performance through Direct Connect Architecture
•
Implementing AMD’s “Direct Connect Architecture”, the HP xw9400 addresses and helps eliminate the real challenges and bottlenecks of system architecture. Memory is connected directly to the CPU optimizing memory performance. I/O is directly connected to the CPU helping balance throughput and enabling expandable I/O. CPUs are connected directly to CPUs allowing more Linear Symmetrical Multiprocessing.
