Compaq innovations enhance the quality, reliability, maintainability, performance, and total cost of ownership (TCO) of its server products. Even the Compaq quality pledge reflects the commitment to listen to you in order to deliver the highest quality products, services, and solutions to ensure value and to contribute to your success. Over the years, Compaq often pioneered new technologies subsequently adopted as industry standards. Several vendors now market features like Automatic Server Recovery once found only on Compaq servers. Compaq engineered PCI Hot Plug technology, now adopted as an industry standard. Compaq, through its partnership with Corollary, developed the ProFusion 8-way chipset architecture. Expect research occurring at Compaq today to become industry-standard features tomorrow.

This document examines both the tangible and intangible features that make Compaq servers the number one choice for customers who demand quality, reliability, and manageability. For additional descriptions of these and other features, please refer to Appendix B–Feature Options and Descriptions.

High Availability
You employ systems to accomplish mission-critical functions central to the success of your operation and any loss of availability translates into a loss of time and money. To protect you from such losses, Compaq offers many features that ensure Compaq servers provide maximum uptime with minimal maintenance.

High availability involves providing three major classes of functionality:

Features designed to work around any failures without service interruption (fault management)
Features designed to prevent problems from occurring (fault prevention)
Features designed to reduce the time it takes to recover from failures (fault resilience)

Fault Management
Fault management provides a first line of defense against failures. These technologies enable you to route around potential faults and continue operating with little or no interruption of service. In many cases, fault management features incorporate redundancy. The features listed in Table 1 enable Compaq systems to work around potential failures without requiring immediate intervention or downtime.

Intelligent Manageability
Compaq pioneered manageability in the early 1990s and has led the industry since then by developing and driving industry standards. Compaq intelligent manageability solutions surpass minimum requirements and enhance management functionality to provide you with the bestmanaged systems. Compaq provides information products and service professionals to assist you with every step in your system deployment and management. Deployment tools manage both the configuration and integration of your server.

Security
Compaq servers offer many features that enhance physical and logical security. Table 8 lists security features, broadly defined as features that provide controls over physical access, remote access over the network or modem, and access by other software methods.

Compaq continues to invest in and deliver essential software products to extend its leadership in management, deployment, version control and fault management while at the same time redefining server value to new levels of customer economic advantages and lower lifecycle operational costs.

This service is available at no extra charge with qualified HP service contracts and provides detailed service event information to service professionals allowing them to minimize potential problems and maximize service response.

Proactive Remote Service for ProLiant servers is made possible through the integration of the fault monitoring and alerting capabilities of Insight Manager 7 with services technology. This offering contributes to delivering intelligent fault resilience in an Adaptive Infrastructure. Management Agents already installed on ProLiant servers gathers data on key system parameters and forwards alerts to the centralized management server with Compaq Insight Manager 7.

Compaq Insight Manager 7 continuously monitors your environment for problem alerts and forwards the service-related events to Compaq Intelligent Services Link. Compaq Intelligent Services Link ensures a secure, reliable Internet connection to Compaq for notification, diagnosis, and resolution of system problems.

Proactive Remote Service reduces IT support, labor and management costs by reducing time to repair, more efficiently allocating a customer's scarce resources and maximizing availability of a system. The end result is lower total cost of ownership and better return on IT investments.
