Latest equivalent of rp2470

[Tom Wolf_3]

Hello we have a five year old PA-RISC rp2470 server that has a single 750 MHz processor running HP-UX 11.11. We want to replace this box with the latest Itanium 64 equivalent available from HP. We plan on running HP-UX 11.23 ia64 on this new server.

Could someone out there please tell me what that model number is?

Thank you.

I would take one of the entry level servers, maybe the rx2660 or rx3600:

Important:
If you want to use the internal disks in a hardware RAID, you should consider to order the smart array controller option for these servers. If you want to connect external SAS disks later, have a look at the P800.

Thanks Torsten.
We'll just have two internal disks in the new box (boot disk and mirror). All other storage will be on our SAN.

Thanks again.

I tried to find the price of an rx2660, but
failed. HP's web site implies they only
want to sell to "Large Businesses" :(

BTW, I might be interested in talking to you
about your old rp2470.

thanks,
Stan
