As the top of the line offering of the HP Integrity NonStop i family, the NB56000c offers 2 or
4-core software licensing options and is built on the proven HP Integrity BL860c i4 server
blade powered by Intel Itanium 9500 series processors. It leverages the HP BladeSystem
c7000 Platinum Enclosure with fault-tolerant ServerNet double-wide switches and the J-series
version of the NonStop OS to greatly improve the computing capacity of the platform.

flexibility. The Storage CLIM serves as a controller to attach hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state
drives (SSDs), HP enterprise storage disk arrays, and tapes. In addition, it offers integrated
volume-level encryption functionality that provides data-at-rest security. Network connectivity
is delivered through the IP CLIM, which provides support for IPv6, IPSec, and SCTP. The Telco
CLIM supports M3UA, Diameter, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) telecommunications
protocols. For additional communications connectivity choices, the G16SE is available.

and Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Level 3 certified to meet telecommunication
marketplace requirements. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental
