HP bulletproof server under fire

[TedPark1025]

why would you design a server to be bulletproof??

5 minutes later... Server Crashes*

How about you shoot 50 rounds into that server and see if it still works?

[TheIndustrialphreak]

@psphacker8 spread around the whole chassis, along with the other backup server they have running in the background that the media n33wbs dont see! ;')

I think if someone is firing bullets into your office you have bigger problems than worrying about you're powerpoint presentation stopping.

HP rules....the best servers in the world.

Who in the hell is going to shoot the server? won't do any good data is probably backup somewhere else I would hope, and you would have to shoot directly at the harddrive , and a 44 Magnum would blow this thing to bits (What are we trying to to do hp? (Run against panasonic Thoughbooks which is a laptop! "Don't see any military people carrying servers around"

[ubuntututorials]

Not much damage. But it would have killed at least one half. But this exists in the real world anyway, you can easily have many servers behind a website, and if one goes down then the others just take a bit more load.

who the hell is gonna walk in an office "put your hands up!, not you. i'm talking to the new HP integrity rx7640 server, which delivers excellent performance and compute density for business-critical

data center applications".

I don't think so!

"I know what you're thinkin' punk. You're thinking did he fire six shots or only five. Well to tell you the truth I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and will blow your servers clean off... you gotta ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky. Well do ya, punk!"

HP Integrity is business-critical. Integrity is not just a brand—it is a way of doing business through a tailored approach that encompasses services, technologies, and partnerships to consistently deliver predictable results in an uncertain world.

Integrity is the most trusted for scalable, mission-critical operations. From blades and entry-class all the way to Superdome, it provides the broadest range of customer choice and is backed by world-class HP services and support.

Yea, you can buy this hardware where one of these special bulletproof servers probably costs as much as 3 normal servers. Thus the reason why companies invest in more then one server for redundancy.

[scraplife]

@groovdafied HP Integrity midrange+ solutions offer nPartitions which electrically isolate from each other. That is how this test was performed. There were 2 nPar's, one on the left and one on the right, even though the right one went down, the system was clustered within itself so it did not go down. If you shot the left one next, it would go down, of course. It's like hardware VMware/ESX.

@scraplife Actually, I kinda correct myself, the Cell Boards in the 76xx series are stacked, so I guess he got lucky and only disrupted one of them ;)
