S7400 and S74000 Processor Multifunction Units (PMF)

Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S74000 High-End Server

In its position at the high end of the Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S74 server family, the S74000 server provides a 30 percent performance boost over its predecessor, the S72000. It features the high- performance MIPS R12000 microprocessor, which runs at 300 megahertz and includes 2 megabytes of L2 cache—double that of the Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S72000 server. The new Ultra SCSI I/O interconnect technology provides a faster pipe for disk traffic. Memory-intensive applications such as home location registries, trading systems, or operational data stores are never a problem:

The Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S7000/S70000/S72000 memory modules are not compatible with the S74000 processor.

Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S7400 Midrange Server

The Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S7400 midrange server delivers twice the performance of its predecessor, the S7000, designed for migration from the NonStop Himalaya K2000 server, with 3 1/2 times that server’s performance. The Tandem NonStop (1960) S7400 achieves its superior performance through the MIPS R10000 microprocessor and only is available with 512 megabytes of main memory.

For customers wanting to upgrade a Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S700 or S7000 server to an S7400 server, processor and memory upgrade credits are available.

Tandem HP NonStop Himalaya S740 and S74 Entry-Level Servers

The NonStop Himalaya S740 and S74 entry-level servers—two-processor (R12000 or R10000) versions of the S74000 and S7400 servers—are ideal for development tasks, and equally valuable for distributed branch applications.
