The HP Unified Cluster Portfolio includes a range of hardware, software, and services that provide
customers a choice of pre-tested, pre-configured systems for simplified implementation, fast
deployment, and standardized support.
HP solutions optimized for HPC:
HP Cluster Platforms – flexible, factory integrated/tested systems built around specific platforms,
backed by HP warranty and support, and built to uniform, worldwide specifications
HP Scalable File Share (HP SFS) – high-bandwidth, scalable HP storage appliance for Linux clusters
HP Financial Services Industry (FSI) solutions – defined solution stacks and configurations for real-
time market data systems
HP and partner solutions optimized for scale-out database applications:
HP Oracle Exadata Storage
HP Oracle Database Machine

HP Cluster Platforms are built around specific hardware and software platforms and offer a choice of
interconnects. For example, the HP Cluster Platform CL3000BL uses the HP BL2x220c G5, BL280c
G6, and BL460c blade servers as the compute node with a choice of GbE or InfiniBand
interconnects. No longer unique to Linux or HP-UX environments, HPC clustering is now supported
through Microsoft Windows Server HPC 2003, with native support for HP-MPI.
