HP 9000



         


HP 9000 is the name for a line of computer systems produced by the Hewlett-Packard (HP) company. The first system in this line was the Series 520, introduced in 1982. An earlier model, the HP 9836, was later merged into the HP 9000 lineup as the Series 236. All models in the HP 9000 line can run the HP-UX Operating System.

Initially, the HP 9000 line of computers used HP's FOCUS architechture for the Series 500. After incorporating the HP 9836 into the family, HP used Motorola's M68k architecture for its Series 200, 300, & 400. HP switched over to its proprietary RISC design, the PA-RISC, for the Series 700, 800, and later lines. Current models use either PA-RISC or the sucessor IA-64 architecture.

HP released the Series 400, also known as the Apollo 400, after acquiring Apollo Computers in 1989. These models had the ability to run either HP's HP-UX or Apollo's Domain/OS.

In 2001, HP converted the naming scheme for their HP 9000 servers. The A-class systems were converted to the rp2400s, the L-class became the rp5400s, and the N-class the rp7400s. The 'p' in the prefix signified a PA-RISC architecture, while an 'x' is used for the Integrity servers running IA-64.
