HP PREMA Architecture represents HP’s technology direction for scale-up x86 servers. The PREMA Architecture is the design foundation for x86 servers that need to deliver more scalability, resiliency, and efficiency to meet the requirements of the most demanding, data-intensive workload environments as well as large scale consolidation and virtualization. With PREMA Architecture HP addresses customer requirements that have exceeded the performance and capacities offered by 4-socket x86 systems. The architecture supports an appropriately balanced system with more processors, more memory, and more I/O than previous generation x86 systems have provided. However, simply adding processors, memory, and I/O slots is not sufficient to achieve the needed scalability and resiliency.

Data-intensive workloads, including business processing and business intelligence, and large scale consolidation and virtualization are placing today’s enterprise application environments under tremendous stress. Challenges include:

Inadequate scaling of compute capabilities. You need scalable solutions to effectively handle increasingly complex and demanding workloads and support exponential data growth over the life of your database infrastructure.
Insufficient reliability. You need resilient solutions, particularly to handle large single-system databases and high-density virtualization. The ability to ensure availability can have a clear economic benefit. Downtime can result in revenue loss, damage to company reputation, and lower employee productivity.
Increased management complexity and operating cost. Underutilized IT resources consume too much space, and cost too much to power, cool, maintain, administer, and service. You need efficient solutions to enable you to free up and redirect operational dollars into business innovations that will strengthen your competitive advantage.

The ProLiant DL980 G7 together with industry leading OS and application software offers a lower cost, standards-based solution for online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehouse, and business intelligence applications. The balanced scaling and self-healing resiliency of the DL980 G7 make it an ideal platform for these applications. Business intelligence applications typically stream large amounts of data from disk into memory, while using processing power to analyze the data. Hardware requirements to support the data warehouse focus on providing sufficient amounts of storage. Customers implementing business intelligence/data warehouse solutions must ensure that they can support an ever increasing query volume, query complexity, database growth, increased sophistication of user queries and availability. Online transaction processing (OLTP) applications generally consist of a database server running a DBMS (database management system) package along with several application servers to process transactions. OLTP systems such as large e-commerce websites must respond to spikes in demand from large numbers of users and a high volume of transactions. These require large amounts of memory to maintain connection context for every database object opened by a user. With the scalability and expansion capabilities of the ProLiant DL980 G7 and the headroom offered by the software—Microsoft SQL Server on Microsoft Windows Server—you can readily accommodate needed growth in database capacity.
