As with any laboratory benchmark, the performance metrics
quoted in this performance brief are idealized. In a production
environment these metrics may be impacted by a variety of factors.

Summary
To characterize the performance of the HP ProLiant BL35p server blade, HP selected a metric that
relates directly to the user experience – the number of Heavy Users that can be supported before
response times start to become unacceptable. Test results show that a two-way HP ProLiant BL35p
server blade with Opteron 2.4 GHz/1 MB processors can support 123 Heavy Users, making this
system ideal for an enterprise HP SBC environment.
Customers can take advantage of test environments like the one described in this Performance Brief –
and solve many other business problems – at over 80 strategically-located HP Solution Centers.
