Hpe Integrity Nonstop X Ns7 Systems; Characteristics Of The Ns7 X1 - HP Integrity NonStop X NS7 Planning Manual

1 HPE Integrity NonStop X NS7 Systems

The HPE Integrity NonStop X NS7 system family introduces Intel® Xeon® x86 technology to
NonStop by using a new high bandwidth, low latency InfiniBand system interconnect that is
fully-integrated with the fault-tolerant HPE NonStop Operating system.
The L15.08 RVU introduced the NS7 X1.
The L16.05 RVU introduces the
