One method the HP VSE uses to improve server resource utilization is to consolidate multiple applications within a single operating system image. Secure Resource Partitions combine kernel level security and proven resource management to stack multiple applications within the same operating system.
HP Process Resource Manager and HP-UX Workload Manager can dedicate specific resources to specific applications within an operating system image, avoiding resource contention issues. Using HP-UX 11i V2 Security Containment , organizations can ensure that application instances cannot access processes or files from other applications or the system. This ensures that multiple application instances run securely in a consolidated environment, providing the benefits of consolidation while preserving the security of a scale out environment. For software licensing purposes, the maximum number of CPUs in a Secure Resource Partition can be capped.
