Abstract :
HP HyperPlex(R) is a clustering technology that leverages HP platforms, mass storage and interconnect products to provide customers with mission-critical high availability and increased processing capacity. A HyperPlex cluster consists of two or more symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) nodes, an interconnect, mass storage options, and a centrally-managed operating environment. Further, HyperPlex solutions lower costs by consolidating resources and increasing users´ productivity. This paper describes the technologies for each of these components, the features and benefits of Hewlett-Packard´s HyperPlex implementation, and the software that complements these technologies
