resources, and ensure cost-effective high availability. It also enables IT
organizations to provision infrastructure consistently and automatically from
pools of shared resources using a self-service portal. Resources provisioned
can range from a single virtual machine to complex multi-tier environments
and their associated physical and virtual resource requirements. In addition to
the previous functional benefits, it also provides a cost-effective disaster
recovery for physical and virtual environments that works with HP Continuous
Access software for both the Enterprise Virtual Array and the XP storage array
allowing application environments to be reactivated in minutes with the touch
of a button to a remote location.

Memory
Data Bus ECC protection for automatic correction from a single data bit error and detection of
double data error bits.
Advanced ECC / Chip Spare / SDDC provides continued memory operation in the event of a single
memory device failure and allows removal of a single DRAM from the memory map if it exhibits a
failure and recovers its data into a new device.
Supports for both x4 and x8 Intel SDDC.
Patrol Scrubbing proactively searches the system memory, repairing correctable errors.
Demand Scrubbing writes corrected data back to the memory once a correctable error is detected
on a read transaction.
DIMM Address/Control Bus Parity Protection provides a means to detect and protect command and
address errors.
Memory Failover uses a mirrored DIMM once a failed DIMM in a mirrored set is detected.
Memory Mirroring provides a copy of memory stored with dynamic failover in case of failure within
socket (intra-socket) memory mirroring.
The system will operate in non-hemisphere mode when mirroring is enabled.
Rank Sparring (On Line Spare) provides dynamic failover to a spare DIMM pair or spare rank pair
behind the same memory controller. Cannot be enabled concurrently with memory mirroring.
NOTE:
HP offers the rank sparing rather than DIMM sparing as rank sparing uses less spare memory
resulting in less overhead.
Memory On-lining allows already inserted memory devices added to the available system resources
without downtime with OS support assistance.
