Compaq Proliant 5500

Compaq Proliant 5500 ... Designed for the branch office or data center, its new space-saving design minimizes ownerships costs in multi-server rack environments or traditional tower installations. The new ProLiant 5500 design is easy to use and service with enhanced fault-tolerant capabilities and rapid recovery features, which provide high availability at an affordable price.

Its enhanced fault-tolerant capabilities such as optional hot-pluggable redundant power supplies and optional redundant fans provide maximum uptime for business-critical environments.

Automatic Server Recovery (ASR-2) monitors server performance and returns the server to full operation in the event of a critical failure. It also features on-line Storage Controller Recovery Option (O.S.C.R.O) for seamless array controller failover. SmartStart provides a CD-ROM-based system that automates the installation, configuration and tuning of your network operating system and enables the setup of an Integration Server. Compaq Info Messenger provides automatic e-mail notification of new driver revisions, updated software and other important information, personalized for Compaq products deployed in your environment. Powerful tools such as Compaq Counselor and Compaq Rack Builder simplify the configuration planning process.
