In addition, it is backed up by Compaq service and support through it's consulting, integration, and NonStop ebusiness Infrastructure services. In summary, the combination of the ProLiant 8000 and it's service and support, provide faster implementation, lower total cost of ownership, and lower risk. Compaq offers customers a version of Microsoft Terminal Server with capacity for eight processor servers, vastly increasing its scalability. All ProLiant 8000 processor options kits come standard with redundant Power Processor Modules. The ProLiant 8000 Pentium III Xeon model supports one memory expansion board with sixteen DIMM sockets.
Additional memory is added with pairs of the same size DIMMs.
EDO memory is NOT supported in the ProLiant 8000 Pentium III Xeon models. When designing the ProLiant 8-way server family, Compaq worked in close partnership with our OS partners and our customers. Although the Profusion chipset supports up to 32GB of memory, there is minimal support and scalability for this memory capacity among industry-standard operating systems., and enhanced support will not be available for an extended period. Also, in discussion with customers we have learned that very few server implementations are fully configured with memory. The ProLiant 8000 capacity is ideal for installation of databases inside the server, accessible through redundant internal array controllers.
