The new blade-based Superdome 2 was part of an announcement of a broader series of products the company collectively calls Integrity.
Besides Superdome 2, the new Integrity portfolio includes new two-socket server blades, which can be combined into a system with up to eight sockets.
Such system can be a mix of Integrity, ProLiant and StorageWorks blades within the same enclosure.
One of the first clients to use the new Integrity architecture was the US-based multinational energy giant Chevron, which deployed its resource-planning infrastructure on Integrity platforms.
"Chevron's consolidation project delivered huge performance gains with no increase in cost," Steve Wilson, with Chevron's life-cycle design, said in a statement.
Other additions include the new Integrity rx2800 i2 rack-mount server and an upgraded HP-UX 11i v3 operating system, which automates workload management, enabling dynamic provisioning and de-provisioning of virtual servers according to need.
HP also introduced the AllianceONE partner program, aiming to optimize complete-package IT solutions, including servers, storage, networking and professional services.
