Executive summary Important: This document describes a perfor mance characterization performed utilizing the HP 64-bit test harness, which incorporates a Microsoft® Office 2003 workload. Test results cannot be compared directly wit h the results of tests performed using the 32-bit Office XP- or Office 2003-based h arness.
Figure 1 . HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blade AMD Opteron processors The HP ProLiant BL685c G5 server blade supports up to four Quad-Core AMD Opteron 8300 Series processors.
• Investment protection By leveraging AMD’s Common Co re Strategy and Same Socket Technology, Quad-Core Opteron processors can minimiz e changes to the custom er’s software and data center infrastructure, protecting IT investments and simplifying management.
Test methodology HP continues to upgrade existing HP ProLiant server s and introduce new servers to meet particular business needs. To help customers select th e appropriate server for their particula.
Test tools To facilitate the placement and management of simulated loads on an HP SBC server, HP used Terminal Services Scalability Planning Tools (TSSca ling), a suite of tools developed by Microsoft to help organizations with Microsoft Windows® Se rver 2003 Terminal Server capacity planning.
Table 3 outlines the activities performed by each user class uti lizing Office 2003 products. Table 3 . Activities incorporated into the test scripts for each user clas s Activity description Heavy Us er Medium User Light User Access Open a database, apply a filter, search through records, add records, and delete records.
Note: When running canary scripts, HP c onsiders user response times to become unacceptable when they increase markedly over a baseline measurement. Test topology Figure 2 illustrates the HP SBC test environment.

Appendix A – HP BladeSystem Out of the box, HP BladeSystem removes constraint s imposed by conventional IT infrastructures, unifying server, storage, networking, power, and mana gement capabilities in a change-ready, energy-thrifty, and cost-effective sy stem.
Management • HP Onboard Administrator provides comp lete control of the infrastruct ure • Interactive HP Insight Display allows easy setup and configuration from the front of the rack • HP Insig.
Performance • Up to eight c-Class server blades • Up to three I/O fabrics • Multi-terabit mid-plane to support cu rrent and futu re I/O connection s • N+N and N+1 power redundancy for maximum .
Appendix B – Using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions Microsoft offers a new generati on of high-performance platfo rms for 64-bit applications with continued support for 32-bit applications and existing deployment and management tools – all on the same platform.
More information For more information on the impact of 64-bit Wi ndows Server 2003 x64 Editions in an HP SBC environment, refer to the HP white paper , “Scalability and performance of HP ProLiant s ervers on 64- bit Microsoft Windows Server 2003 in a n HP SBC environment.
Appendix C – SBC solution sizing As with any laboratory benchmark, the performanc e metrics quoted in this performance brief are idealized. In a production environment, these me trics may be impacte.
