HP NetServer LXr Pro8
Highly scalable 8-way
rack-optimized server
The HP NetServer LXr Pro8
extends the capabilities of the
award-winning HP NetServer
L Series systems with up to 8-way
multiprocessing and these other
features designed for business-
critical Microsoft®Windows®NT™
environments:
• Significantly greater performance
than 4-way NT servers as
measured by a wide range of
industry benchmarks
• Up to 32 Intel® Pentium®Pro
CPUs (across four servers) in
a single 2.0-meter, 19-inch rack
for greater computing power
per rack than any other system
from a major PC vendor
• The fastest memory available—
up to 8GB SDRAM—for
high-speed database access
and application performance
• Seven RAID storage levels
optionally available for superior
data protection plus redundant,
hot-swappable components for
high reliability
• Ease of upgradability and
servicing with “docking station”
style modular design
• Planned upgrade to next-
generation CPUs, hot-swap
PCI I/O, and future higher
performance and higher
capacity memory technologies
• Lasting value through
affordable prices, superior
HP engineering, and the
backing of world-class
HP service and support
data sheet
A powerful, rack-optimized server that satisfies the most
demanding Windows NT solution workloads and scales
easily to satisfy increasing capacity needs—while providing
an affordable alternative to comparably performing
RISC/UNIX and minicomputer products.
