environment include
support for up to 256 CPUs; hot swappable
I/O and disks; new ServiceControl Manager software for application
management; built-in intrusion detection; Linux APIs for
portability of open-source applications; and new Java development
tools, according to Ram Appalaraju, director of marketing for HP’s
