Earlier this week we joined several other sites at HP’s Cupertino, California campus for HP’s Superdome Tech Day. One of the scheduled events focused on some of the configuration and management of an HP Superdome solution in an adaptive infrastructure. HP solutions architect Richard Warham took us through several scenarios including how to rapidly scale up an application server in the event of a sudden surge in transaction volumes, and how to maintain service availability in the event of a server failure.
